Historic District considers two building proposals in Frederick
The Frederick Historic District Commission weighs plans for All Saints Street Episcopal Church renovations and the National Museum of Civil War Medicine at 48 W. Patrick St. The church aims to add a rear extension with stairs, elevator, and classroom and to create a parking area, while preserving exterior features. The museum project seeks to maintain original character across four to five eras but faces structural and safety challenges, including a front door that may need to swing outward for fire codes. The commission may delay parts of the plans pending a preservation consultant and will decide at the March 1 meeting.
