Maintaining history: The Stephenson Building reborn
The Journal | Wednesday, May 21, 2025
The Journal reports on the revitalization of the historic Stephenson Building in Charles Town, originally a female seminary and later an inn. Abandoned for decades, the building was transformed into nine modern apartments through the efforts of Mark Letenzi and Mitchell Park Companies, utilizing historic tax credits. Local leaders, including Mayor Bob Trainor and realtor Angela Kable Johnson, highlighted the importance of such renovations in preserving community history. This project not only honors the past but also sets a precedent for future downtown developments.
