EDR prepared a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties Form and Determination of Eligibility for the Wood Property, a former tobacco farm with 10 standing agricultural buildings located within Rosaryville State Park. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has determined that the buildings are not compatible with the planned use of the site and will be removed.
As part of this effort, the Maryland Historical Trust required full documentation of the property prior to demolition. To satisfy this requirement, EDR prepared a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties form and Determination of Eligibility documenting the history and current condition of the Wood Property. This work involved research into the property’s history; development of a historic context statement for the property and for tobacco agriculture; an architectural description of the 10 standing agricultural buildings, their setting, and relevant landscape features; high-resolution photographs of buildings and landscape features; evaluation of the farm’s architectural and historic significance; and preparation of supporting documentation including current mapping and site plans.
