SUMMARY:Alleyways of DC Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Alleyways have long been a feature of DC’s built environment\, hidden behind the high-style facades of the city’s thoroughfares. These often-unseen spaces ultimately became centers of African American community and resilience. Despite congressional intervention to halt alleyway construction\, the city had over 3\,300 alleyway dwellings by 1912. Additionally\, many city residents used alleyways for stables\, garages\, and warehouses. In the 1930s\, alleyways were once again targeted – this time by the Alley Dwelling Authority – which resulted in the displacement of Washingtonians and the loss of historic fabric. Luckily\, thanks to grassroots activism and changing views on alleyways\, many alley buildings and structures were saved from demolition in the postwar era. These unique structures have since been preserved and rehabilitated. Join tour guide Zachary Burt to visit some of the remaining alleyways of the Capitol Hill Historic District\, which continue to house and serve Washingtonians\, decades after their original construction. This tour will take place in the Capitol Hill Historic District\, which has the most alley buildings and structures of any DC historic district. \nThis program has a ticket cost of $15.00 for DCPL Members and a ticket cost of $25.00 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Member-Only: Visit the Mary Church Terrell House
DESCRIPTION:The DC Preservation League invites its members to visit the newly-restored Mary Church Terrell House on Thursday\, May 9th from 4:00-6:00pm. After 24 years on the DC Preservation League’s “Most Endangered Places” list\, the Mary Church Terrell House has officially been saved and is ready for visitors. \nAll DCPL Members must register for a 20-minute time slot between 4:00pm and 6:00pm. Slots will be first come\, first serve. Register for this event online and the link to sign up for a time slot will be included in your confimation email.  \n \nOriginally constructed in 1894\, the house was built as part of a duplex–hence its unusual\, half-severed appearance. The twin half of the house was demolished following a devastating fire in the 1960s\, rendering the Terrell house memorably asymmetrical. The building’s historical significance can be traced to one of its early residents\, Mary Church Terrell\, who is known for her work as a civil rights activist and educator in Washington\, DC. \nNumerous attempts to restore the house were made\, however\, true progress became possible in 2018 with the receipt of grant funding from the African American Civil Rights grant from the Historic Preservation Fund\, administered by the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior. As a site of immense historical significance and as a contributing structure in the LeDroit Park Historic District\, the restoration of the Mary Church Terrell House demonstrates a communal commitment to historic preservation and inspires hope for the future. \nSIGN UP HERE!

SUMMARY:Historic Preservation & Affordable Housing: Myth vs. Reality
DESCRIPTION:Join DCPL and PlaceEconomics online to bust some preservation myths! In this presentation\, speaker Alyssa Frystak will address some of the common misconceptions surrounding historic preservation and affordable housing using data-driven findings from PlaceEconomics work. She will demonstrate how historic preservation and older housing can play a key role in helping to alleviate the affordable housing crisis. \nSign up here to receive the Zoom link in your inbox!\nAlyssa Frystak is the Director of Research and Data Analytics at PlaceEconomics\, a Washington\, D.C.-based research firm specializing in the analysis of the economic impacts of historic preservation. There she is responsible for data acquisition and preparation\, methodology development\, and analysis. Alyssa is well versed in GIS\, census data\, municipal data\, as well as various other data resources. She is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, where she was the inaugural recipient of the Mencoff Family Fellowship in Historic Preservation. Her Master’s thesis\, “Small but Mighty: Combatting the Affordable Housing Crisis Through Small-Scale Historic Rehabilitation\,” examined the tools\, incentives\, and policies that help preserve and create subsidized and unsubsidized affordable housing in designated and non-designated buildings. Outside of her professional work\, Alyssa is also interested in innovative technologies and trends. Recently\, she explored the growing popularity of how a cryptocurrency wallet works\, particularly how they are transforming the way individuals manage digital transactions and investments. She currently serves as the Chair of the Skyline Council of Landmarks Illinois. \n
