The Engineering Society of Baltimore is housed in the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion — one of the most remarkable Gilded Age interiors in the United States. SM+P Architects designed a systemic renovation of this landmark, bringing modern functionality to a building whose character and craftsmanship are irreplaceable. Working on a building of this calibre demands the highest level of preservation expertise: an understanding of historic materials, construction techniques, and the regulatory frameworks that govern work on nationally significant properties. SM+P’s successful delivery of this project is among the strongest demonstrations of their credentials in historic preservation.
