Washington Chronicles tells the history of Washington, DC through the stories of its people, neighborhoods, and buildings. New posts are added often, and previous posts are often updated with additional material and photos to further complement original posts.
Also, please be sure to check under the Notes menu option for shorter posts relating to DC’s history, historic preservation, or just general commentary to which you can add your feedback and comments.
I hope to provide an interactive space for those interested in the history of our nation’s capital, as well as an online forum for historic preservation news and issues.
