Maintaining the Clubhouse

Thanks to our donors, the Foundation’s contributions to the Maryland Club preservation projects are making a difference. Much redevelopment is taking place in Baltimore’s Mount Vernon neighborhood, and the Clubhouse at 1 East Eager Street remains an important anchor. The Foundation’s preservation and education activities support continued understanding and appreciation of our historic building.
