Friendship Hall
Through the place work[s]hop that took place in East New Market, the community identified and acquired a piece of town's historical character which was in danger of being lost due to development. In the Fall of 2011, with support from UMES Rural Development Center, students from Philadelphia University's Landscape Architecture program and the staff of ESLC's Center for Towns worked with the community to develop a conceptual site plan that would increase public access to this open green space and bring awareness to this significant piece of local character.
