Saturday, October 7, will see a
gathering in Rockville of individuals interested in the people and times
that shaped the City we know today. Open to citizens, property owners,
public officials, and decision-makers, the symposium features Rockville from
the end of World War II to the opening of Metro -- the 1950s, 1960s, and
1970s.
Preservation experts and local
citizens will examine the challenges that are unique to buildings from this
time period and discuss practical strategies to preserve them for future
generations. The day will provide a variety of opportunities to learn, to
discuss, and to meet with others who cherish Rockville’s architectural
heritage.
The symposium is presented by Peerless
Rockville and co-sponsored by the Rockville Historic District Commission,
National Trust for Historic Preservation, Preservation Maryland, Montgomery
County Historic Preservation Commission, and the Recent Past Preservation
Network. The event is funded in part by Willco Companies, Cohen Companies,
and Rockville Properties. The Rockville Channel will tape the event, for
future broadcast.
The public is welcome and the
symposium is free of charge. Morning refreshments and a light lunch will be
served, so reservations are required. Call 301-762-0096 for more
information and reservations.
