Champions of Preservation
December 2022
HA was pleased to present Preservation Awards to two individuals who have supported the extraordinary restoration at the Brice House for the past 8 years – Governor Larry Hogan, and Jeff Brown of Lewis Contractors as the leading supervisor of the James Brice House restoration.
Under Governor Hogan’s leadership, the State of Maryland and HA have worked together to advance several initiatives to promote historic preservation, particularly the once-in-a-generation restoration of the James Brice House. The restored building will provide a setting for a layered interpretive experience, allowing HA to tell the full story of the people who built, lived in, and labored at the house.
Jeff Brown has served as the site superintendent for the James Brice House project since the 21st century restoration began in 2016. Under Mr. Brown’s careful watch, skilled craftsmen have unearthed original historic fabric and restored architectural features with precision and detail. Mr. Brown is also credited with crafting an innovative scaffolding technique that minimized direct impact to the building’s historic elements.
