Cleveland Park is a National Register Historic District in Washington, D.C. The neighborhood developed as a “streetcar suburb” of Washington from the 1890s and contains a remarkable variety of architecture as well as designed and natural landscapes from the 18th to 20th centuries.
Cleveland Park became a National Register Historic District in 1987. Download the nomination here (text) and here (pictures). You can also find this development history of the commercial corridor. The DC Historic Preservation Office’s brochure about Cleveland Park gives an excellent overview of Cleveland Park’s history.
The Cleveland Park Historical Society (CPHS) is the neighborhood’s historic preservation and local history organization, working to preserve our legacy of architectural and landscape design. Everyone is welcome to become a member!
DC REDISTRICTING
In May, the DC Council Redistricting Subcommittee approved a revised Ward 3 map that placed most of the Cleveland Park Historic District within a single ANC. While not perfect (the western side of the Historic District will be in a different ANC), it is an improvement over the Task Force map.
More recently, DC Council Chair Mendelson proposed a revised Ward 3 map that would have kept all of Cleveland Park in a single ANC. On June 7, the DC Council voted against it, approving instead a slightly revised version of the Sub-committee map. You can find it here.
We thank all of our members who did so much to try to keep our neighborhood intact!
