Welcome to the Save Arden blog

Arden was the former home of Victor Gustav Bloede built in 1924 in Catonsville, Maryland. It is currently at risk of being razed to make room for a 23 unit PUD on the grounds of the estate. The property was given preliminary Historic Landmark status in January by the Baltimore County Landmarks Preservation Commission.

The Baltimore County Council held a public hearing on July 7th. The Council will vote on Arden’s final Landmark status on July 29th. We need YOUR help! Please contact Councilman Sam Moxley, and the rest of the Council members, to voice your opinion on the necessity of preserving Arden. We need you to urge Councilman Moxley to draft a bill placing Arden into permanent History Landmark status.
