We want to preserve the Old Stone Building at 14500 Church St. in Upper Marlboro, MD and adaptively re-use it as a multi-purpose space for the community. Both Prince George's County and Town of Upper Marlboro have plans to demolish it.
Why is this important?
We are starting this petition because we want to preserve and re-purpose the Old Stone Building as a multi-purpose space for the community of Upper Marlboro. The building is currently owned by Prince George's County and sustained damage when a car hit it. It is open to the elements and needs immediate repair. This building was listed as a contributing asset in the town's application for designation as a Historic District to the Department of the Interior, and it would be a shame to allow such a picturesque treasure to be demolished. We are fairly certain that the building could be repurposed for less than the amount it will cost the county to demolish it and haul it off. Our community will lose an architectural treasure and potential gathering place. We need your help in contacting the elected officials listed above and asking them to do the right thing: Save the Old Stone Building!
