Join Peerless Rockville for this illustrated presentation on how downtown Rockville evolved over the first 50 years of the 20th century, from hotels and stables to stores, banks, and gas stations. Many community landmarks, churches, and homes, including sections of downtown Rockville’s longstanding African-American neighborhood from this era are no longer present today.In the 1960s, the majority of Rockville’s central business district was demolished by an Urban Renewal plan known as “The Mid-City Project.” Entire blocks with buildings from throughout Rockville’s history were destroyed, homes and businesses relocated, and even the layout of the streets altered. Come see what existed before the destruction of Urban Renewal.This presentation is in conjunction with Peerless Rockville’s virtual exhibit “Changing the Map – the Mid-City Project: Urban Renewal in Rockville” about the ambitious federally funded Urban Renewal project that permanently altered the social and commercial heart of the City.Per grant funding from the City of Rockville, Peerless Rockville is required to collect and share addresses of all guests. Peerless Rockville Historic Preservation Ltd. is supported in part by a grant from the City of Rockville and funding from the Montgomery County Government and the Arts & Humanities Council of Montgomery County. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/rockville/the-heart-of-rockville-1900-1950/100001965568933592 - **Event Categories**: art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Rockville - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: The Historic Red Brick Courthouse - **lat**: 39.0835849 - **long**: -77.15152719999998 - **full address**: The Historic Red Brick Courthouse, 29 Courthouse Square, Rockville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Heart of Rockville: 1900-1950 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/1174609b3ac9738cf0c27b10747cc10c1c54cbe84f3a6d33b4067f5323ecd808-rimg-w1200-h600-dcfefefe-gmir.jpg?v=1762670232 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Heart of Rockville: 1900-1950 being held? - **A:** The Heart of Rockville: 1900-1950 takes place on Wed, 19 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 am to Wed, 19 Nov, 2025 at 11:00 am at The Historic Red Brick Courthouse, 29 Courthouse Square, Rockville, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Heart of Rockville: 1900-1950? - **A:** The Heart of Rockville: 1900-1950 is organized by Peerless Rockville. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
