Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

DC Preservation League invites you to attend our Historic Preservation 101/201 training to be held Friday morning, May 7, at the Kellogg Conference Center on the campus of Gallaudet University.

With the support of the Department of Consumer & Regulatory Affairs this is our third year of providing a program that introduces the background, opportunities and protections of historic preservation in Washington DC. Most of you represent neighborhoods that include older building that if not designated historic, may have the potential to be. This is a great opportunity to join us to review the programs and processes that can affect historic properties throughout our city. We are pleased to waive the $60 tuition for you as an ANC commissioner if you register by May 5. We look forward to seeing you.

Historic Preservation 101/201
Friday, May 7th
9:00am to 12:00pm
Gallaudet University
Kellogg Conference Center
800 Florida Avenue, NE

Join DCPL and speakers from the DC Historic Preservation Office and the L’Enfant Trust for educational sessions that overview historic preservation in Washington.

Historic Preservation 101 provides a brief history of the DC historic preservation movement, advice on how to navigate historic district requirements, and tips on historic preservation funding, and the value of façade easements.

This year, DCPL is pleased to offer a new session, Historic Preservation 201. This program delves deeper into the process of designating historic landmarks and districts, renovation of a historic property, the historic preservation review process and integrating historic resources with new construction.
