What do you think of efforts to seek historic status for the home at 3020 Albemarle? The property was for sale until preservationists nominated it for landmark status. ANC 3F is scheduled to discuss the application at its July meeting a week from today.
Also on the agenda: A remembrance of the late ANC 3F commissioner Tom Whitley, and an announcement of the election to fill the late Karen Perry’s seat. Two candidates, Shirley Adelstein and David Donaldson, are running.
ANC 3F will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 21st, at Forest Hills of DC (4901 Connecticut). The meeting will be livestreamed and archived for playback at livestream.anc3f.us.

Landmarking 3020 Albemarle Street would recognize historic, architectural, and landscape value of this property at the head of Soapstone Valley Trail, across from Soapstone Valley Park — a true gem of the National Park Service. Park, Trail, and built neighborhood add immensely to value of 3020. Landmarking 3020 will protect neighboring assets. In addition to impressive historic research in the landmarking application, Historic Preservation Review Board and ANC3F should be aware that today’s wonderful Trail was once a carriage road — long before we had paved streets in the area.
