Grove 24 concession stand restoration

a restored 1920’s concession stand - coming soon!

In partnership with Rock Creek Park and with the generous support of Landis Architects|Builders, Rock Creek Conservancy is restoring a dilapidated concession stand located in Grove 24 of Rock Creek Park, in the recreational Brightwood area of the park.

The building was initially constructed in the mid 1920’s as a comfort station, and eventually utilized as a concession stand for park visitors. In recent years, it has been closed to the public and used for mechanical storage. We are thrilled to begin restoration so this structure can once again serve to enhance the experience of all who spend time in the park!

While maintaining the building’s historic structure and design, the project will initially focus on stabilizing the roof and replacing parts to stop accelerating decay. When complete, the building will be ADA-compliant, have modern HVAC and heating units, and be able to be used for park operations. The renovation is projected to be complete by the new year, check back on this page or follow our social media for updates!
