Nominate A Show House

Mar 13, 2018

Thousands of people toured White Hall in the Fall off 2017 making the event one of the most successful in HEC history. HEC has now turned to finding the next home to serve as a Show House. While the inventory of historic homes in Howard County is dwindling and finding a home on a large enough parcel of land is proving difficult, HEC’s Show House Committee is hard at work searching for the next location. The ideal homes are old and stately, located in Howard County, and with on-site acreage for parking or ability to use/create parking nearby. The home should be in livable condition needing mostly design and cosmetic improvements.
