Black Horse Square eyed for 74 foot Frederick office complex
Crowell and Baker of Rockville plans two office buildings and a private parking garage at 117 W Patrick St behind the Black Horse tavern in downtown Frederick. The 12 million project, named Black Horse Square, faces planning and historic district reviews amid concerns over preserving the clustered spires motif and city skyline. The site sits near All Saints Episcopal Church, with a 74-foot cap raised by zoning changes to 75 feet. A traffic study and further commission reviews are pending, with hearings set for Oct 13 and November.
