The Emerson Mansion restoration is a multi-phase community building initiative that will result in the restoration of the Emerson Mansion in Baltimore City’s Reservoir Hill neighborhood. Another goal is the creation of significant educational and cultural programming to benefit the neighborhood and the city.
In the first phase, the focus is on returning the Emerson Mansion, a 19th century Baltimore City facility that has been vacant for more than two decades and fallen into disrepair. In 2019, with support from Healthy Neighborhoods Inc. and Department of Housing and Community Development, the property was secured from further damage through the installation of a new Brava synthetic tile roof, a modern material designed to simulate historic roof tiling. This accomplishment structurally stabilized the roof.
The restoration will adapt the space for current building codes and accommodate new uses. Over the years, before it fell into disrepair, the property was divided into office space, and the restoration will attempt to replicate the original character of the space.
