Federal Urban Renewal funds enabled the Mid-City Project that transformed Rockville’s original downtown and streetscapes. It demolished buildings with wide-ranging architectural styles and changed historic routes that had evolved over time from the 18th century. These were replaced by monolithic mid-20th century ideas about urban design and commerce. This virtual exhibit seeks to illustrate how this momentous change came about as Rockville sought to create a modern County Seat for a growing population and permanently altered the face of Rockville.
