Cap Ex supported Lovely Lane United Methodist Church in a multi-phase project to transform an underused chapel and fellowship hall into the Lovely Lane Arts and Neighborhood Center. As the Mother Church of American Methodism, Lovely Lane UMC is a National Register property and cultural asset in Central Baltimore. As owner’s representative, Cap Ex assisted Lovely Lane in developing phasing strategies and budgets, hiring and overseeing contractors, and complying with the requirements of multiple public and private funding sources, including the Maryland Historical Trust. Work on the initial phase began in 2021 with a prestigious grant from the National Fund for Sacred Places that leveraged significant matching funds. Phase one work to improve accessibility and visitor experience was led by Plano-Coudon. Later phases included replacement of the roof and mechanical systems (A.R. Marani) along with restoration of the chapel’s Tiffany stained-glass windows (Worcester Eisenbrandt).
