What We Do
The Historic Properties Program provides in-house technical support for the conservation of fourteen historic landmarks owned by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore. By supporting facilities maintenance and construction projects, the Historic Properties Program ensures that stewardship of Baltimore's historic and cultural treasures is maintained to federal, state, and local historic preservation standards.
DGS is committed to reinvesting in Baltimore’s landmarks so that they may continue to serve Baltimore's citizens. The city’s historic properties are not only treasured as artifacts of our collective past but are also enhanced and used for the contemporary benefit of the public.
The program actively partners with private and public entities to assist with preserving these landmarks. Many of these historic buildings are used for municipal purposes or are leased to community partners for heritage tourism. Visit our partners, listed below, to learn about historic preservation in Baltimore and how you can discover our city’s history in person.
