520 There has been a surge of full rehabs of rowhouses in
Baltimore City recently as interest and the popularity of
living in the city has risen. A new approach had been
garnering some press attention, in combination both with
these rehabs and national interest in "building green"---
the green rehabilitation of rowhouses. This paper looks
at affordability and preservation issues with regard to
the greening of rowhouses. My thesis statement is that
through effective planning and compromise, a green
rehabilitation of a rowhouse can be both affordable and
appropriately sensitive to the house's historic
character. Through research and interviews, I investigated
if and how to make these green rehabs affordable for the
average citizen of Baltimore, and what sort of compromises
can be made in order to update these houses for modern
living while still adhering to standards of preservation,
again, if possible. Affordability is important with
green building because it is essential to involve people
of all socio-economic classes in the environmental
movement if it to work. Likewise, preservation of
buildings in the city needs to include both high-style as
well as vernacular buildings, and needs to continue even
when these historic structures are adapted to modern use
and standards. Through compromise and continued
conversation between professionals in all related fields,
green rehabilitations of rowhouses can be even more
affordable and available to the city's residents
