Historic District Proposed for Petworth’s Grant Circle

Last night, members of Petworth’s Grant Circle community met at the Petworth Methodist Church to learn more about what it would mean to live in a Historic District. The meeting was organized by ANC 4C09 Commissioner Joe Martin with ANC 4C07 Commission John-Paul Hayworth in attendance and in response to the filing of a nomination for the district on February 13, 2015. A hearing on the nomination is scheduled before the Historic Preservation Review Board on Thursday, April 2nd. While the historic district nomination has not been posted on the HPO Web site yet, you can learn some of Grant Circle’s history from my August 22, 2013 post on the topic.

4)  The DC Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) had the Grant Circle Historic District application on its agenda today.

The HPRB voted to support the application.

See the tweet from the DC Preservation League from earlier today:

The DC Historic Preservation Office will produce a report of the HPRB approval.  We'll post that report here on the blog for you to read.

So DC now has a new Historic District!
