Description
Description | The Old Ellicott City jail, a granite building on Emory Street that has been vacant for nearly two decades, is being adaptively reused by Preservation Maryland. The project involves transforming the building into a shared space for community activities, University of Maryland students, and the new headquarters for the non-profit. Some original structures like jail bars will be preserved as reminders of its history. The project aims to preserve the 150-year history of the jail, including its painful past involving enslaved persons and documented lynchings. The project has raised $4 million with some help from the county and is one step closer to realization. |
