See this message from Bloomingdale resident Sara:

As Scott’s email reported earlier - On 14 October the D.C. Preservation League (DCPL) is holding its annual Wardman Row-House Tour.

BUT – did you know it will drive through our neighborhoods to view our famous Wardman homes?

AND the tour makes a stop in Bloomingdale?

Will your street and tree box be presentable for a bus full of sightseers?

10:00 AM Depart National Building Museum, 401 F Street, NW

N. Capitol & Bates St, NW - Philanthropic rowhouse flats

North Capitol St between Florida & Rhode Island avenues,

10:35 - 2006 tour - Stops at 2200 block of 1st Street / Corner of 1st & W NW

The route is not finalized – the bus full of tourists may come up First Street or North Capitol. Please help make our neighborhood shine!
