Preservation Assistance
Peerless Rockville assists owners of historic properties in renovating, restoring or modifying properties through its files on contractors, suppliers, artisans, and products, and by providing information on tax incentives and other programs.  Peerless Rockville assists owners wishing to research a property's history, helps with various applications and provides information on owning property in an historic district and Maryland Historic Trust designation forms.  Our library contains many periodicals and publications of interest to historic property owners.  The library is open Tuesday through Saturday 11 am to 1 pm or by appointment.  Call 301-762-0096.
