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). 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!
The DC Office of Planning (OP) has proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map which guide future zoning and land use decisions. The amendments have the potential to forever change our historic district. READ THE CPHS STATEMENT HERE
On October 27th, CPHS hosted a virtual discussion with DC Council member Mary Cheh, ANC Commissioner Nancy MacWood, and former HPRB and Zoning chair Tersh Boasberg about the proposed DC Comprehensive Plan and amendments. It was a robust discussion, and we thank everyone who joined us!
If you missed the event, you can watch it here (Part 1) and here (Part 2)
UPDATE as of 11/6/2020: The DC Preservation League and the Cleveland Park Historical Society have filed with the Historic Preservation Office a nomination to grant the Uptown Theater historic landmark status. The Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) will consider the nomination in the near future. Read the nomination here.
In March, AMC Theatres terminated its relationship with the Uptown Theater. At the moment, we know of no specific plans for the future of Cleveland Park’s historic theater, but we will keep you posted on what we are able to learn.
