Roof Replacement Project

Peerless Rockville is pleased to report that the Montrose Schoolhouse Roof Replacement Project has come to completion.  The project began in September 2008 when Peerless Rockville proudly accepted a grant award from the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) to help fund Peerless’ effort to replace the Montrose Schoolhouse 1909 tin roof.   

The project consisted of repairing the chimneys to ensure maximum energy efficiency and the deteriorating patterned tin roof was replaced to prevent water damage to the building. 

In the next phase of the Montrose Schoolhouse project, Peerless Rockville plans to raise enough funds to paint the exterior, repair windows, and make other improvements.  If you are interested in providing services, or would like to make a donation towards the Montrose School Preservation Project, please call 301-762-0096 or send an email at info@peerlessrockville.org.
