After several years away from hosting a full Decorator Show House experience, Historic Ellicott City, Inc. is excited to announce plans for our upcoming 2026 Decorator Show House. While HEC continued its mission of preservation, advocacy, and community engagement throughout recent years, we are thrilled to once again welcome designers, preservation supporters, and visitors together in celebration of historic architecture, inspired interiors, and the shared appreciation of Howard County’s historic treasures.

Our most recent Show House proved to be one of the organization’s most successful in attendance, community participation, and financial support for preservation initiatives. From the excitement of the Preview Party to the creativity and craftsmanship displayed throughout the home, the Show House tradition continues to serve as one of HEC’s signature events.

As preparations begin for 2026, HEC invites designers and supporters to follow upcoming announcements and participation opportunities in the months ahead.
