The Canal House structure that will anchor The Green town square at Westbard Square in Bethesda is beginning to round into shape at the top of the civic green. First seen in renderings released by developer and property owner Regency Centers in 2021, the Canal House is meant to resemble the lock houses along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Its facade utilizes the local quarry stone seen on many older structures around Bethesda - including the Westwood Shopping Center that was demolished to make way for Westbard Square.
Regency Centers has kept its plans for the Canal House close to the vest. The architecture firm hired by Regency has described it only as "a retail pavilion." Others have speculated it could be used as a restaurant space. Its two story height and large front porch lend themselves to many possibilities.
