The Cleveland Park Historical Society -

The Cleveland Park Historical Society (CPHS) is the neighborhood’s historic preservation and local history organization, working to maintain and enhance the character and strength of Cleveland Park as an historic, multifaceted, urban residential neighborhood.

The Cleveland Park 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. More about Cleveland Park’s history and links to other resources can be found here.

Everyone is welcome to join CPHS! Join or renew your membership securely online today.

Policy Corner is a new feature that will track, present, and discuss various policy issues, and other topics of interest or concerns, affecting the Cleveland Park Historic District. This will include reporting on actions taken by the DC Council, DC Office of Planning (OP), the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), and ANC3C commissioners. Policy Corner will appear in each issue of Voices and update on the CPHS website when there is news or necessary updates.
