DC House tours

1. This weekend, on Sunday, there is a house tour in Takoma DC and Takoma Park, MD. This is the first year that both DC and MD are included in the tour. Traditionally, it has just been Maryland.

2. Next weekend is the Capitol Hill House Tour. This year it ventures "beyond the boundaries" of the formally designated Capitol Hill Historic District north and east, with a lot of participation in the H Street NE neighborhood, including a Saturday night pub crawl and a Sunday reception at the H Street Playhouse. I've agreed to volunteer as a guide on one of the jitney transportation vehicles (I won't call it a bus trolley.)

See "Beyond the Boundaries: 51st Annual Capitol Hill House & Garden Tour (and pub crawl)" from the Capitol Hill Restoration Society website.
