Hooper House is a monumental space-making project and collaboration. Originally the sprawling home of shipping magnate James E. Hooper, the property has been reimagined as a cultural hub for local artists and entrepreneurs, as well as a community gathering place within the historic neighborhood of Old Goucher in Baltimore, MD.
In 2022, tragedy struck when a devastating fire consumed the top cupola and caused significant water damage to the property.
An ambitious revitalization project began in early 2023. This comprehensive redevelopment endeavor will transform the Hooper House into a vibrant hub featuring 15 innovative studio and maker spaces, as well as a ground-floor food and beverage experience. A landscaped outdoor area reminiscent of a picturesque park, complete with a greenhouse, will be on the exterior.
The overarching objective of this venture is to provide a nurturing environment where creatives can flourish alongside small businesses, drawing inspiration from the ebb and flow of daily life in a beautiful modernized historic setting. With diligence and dedication, the project is expected to reach its fruition in the second quarter of 2024.
