From Endangered Maryland |
This modernist bank building has been called "one of the best examples of commerical medernism from the 1950s in the Mid-Atlantic region." The Montgomery County Historic Preservation Commission voted for the preservation of the Perpetual, but plans call for demolition to make way for a 14-story mixed use building. The Silver Spring Historical Society hopes to raise awareness and impress upon state and local officials the importance of the site.
