Brookland Historic District?
Hell No!
Hurray! Looks like the push by the city to declare my neighborhood a historic district has died. The lack of consultation with the residents (me!), and the general perception that we as residents have enough restrictions and fees for improving our property seem to have carried the day. I'm most proud of my ANC Commissioner, Mr. Boston. He seems to have been kicking ass and taking names at the last neighborhood meeting.
The City Paper has all the delicious details.
Brookland doesn't take kindly to historic preservation.
