Preservation Maryland's headquarters is in the 1791 Old St. Paul's Rectory, located in Baltimore's Mt. Vernon Cultural District and near the Inner Harbor. St. Paul's Rectory was built in 1791 on land conveyed to the Vestry of St. Paul's by John Eager Howard in 1786. It is a Baltimore City Landmark, and a contributing structure of the Cathedral Hill Historic District. Preservation Maryland occasionally makes the Rectory available for meetings and social events.
