Hurlbut, 19312001. Richard Hurlbut was a native Washingtonian who worked to preserve Washington, DC's historic public schools for over twenty-five years. He was the driving force behind the restoration of the Charles Sumner School, which was built after the Civil War in 1872 as the first school in Washington, DC for African- American children. Sumner was spared demolition in the 1970s and was rededicated in 1986 as the DC Public Schools Archives, Museum and Conference Center. Mr. Hurlbut also helped save the historic Benjamin Franklin Schoolhouse. Richard Hurlbut was the public school preservation officer and served as curator of the museum and director of the conference center until his retirement in May 2000. 4 Replace or Modernize: May 2001 Preface Schools are more numerous than any other public facility in our communities. In Washington, DC, many older schools sit on corners, anchoring neighborhoods and fostering a sense of stability and familiarity. One such school is Murch Elementary School. In 1997 members of the Murch Elementary School community approached the National Trust for Historic Preservation with concerns about the deterioration of the exterior of the 1929 school building. The Trust awarded the Murch Home and School Association a $2500 Preservation Services Grant. The purpose of this grant was to provide a framework for preliminary planning of an architecturally compatible new addition to the Murch Elementary School; heighten community awareness of the historic and architectural significance of the existing school building and the surrounding neighborhood; and to teach students about the community history, the architecture, historic preservation issues and the planning process. In 1999, at the urging of the 21St Century School Fund, the Murch Home and School Association requested that the National Trust permit the Murch grant to be used to ensure that the history and architecture of all public schools in the District of Columbia be considered in the long-range educational facility master plan being developed by the school system. We thank the Murch Elementary School parents, Murch teacher Deborah Ziff Cook, and especially principal Dr. Marjorie Cuthbert. They made this report possible because of their willingness to look beyond the many pressing concerns of their own school to the needs of the entire district. We would also like to thank Mary Gill, principal of Murch Elementary School from 1984 to 1998 and current chief academic officer of DCPS, for her strong support of the early activities of this project. This work could not have been accomplished without the help of the Sumner School Museum and Archives, and the fine work of Antoinette Lee and Tanya Edwards Beauchamparchitectural historians who have painstakingly documented the history of the District's public school buildings. Finally, we thank Mary Filardo and the staff of the 21st Century School Fund for writing and compiling this report. Nenie Bartman and Jamie Butler, Murch Elementary School Parents and Project Coordinators Replace or Modernize: May 2001 Introduction The District of Columbia is in the early years of a ten to fifteen year initiative to modernize and replace its public school buildings. This report will explore facility planning issues associated with old and historic schools that were not fully resolved in "A New Generation of Schools," the DC Public Schools Facility Master Plan (Master Plan) approved by the Board of Education in December 2000. It will assist neighbors, parents, teachers, principals, architects, planners, school board members, council members, DCPS officials and members of Congress to build on, revise, improve and update the Master Plan. In this new initiative, the school system' must avoid the mistakes of the last major school construction program of the 1970s. In fact, this school construction program offers the District remedy some of the poor design of the past. Section one of this report explores issues associated with the District's old and historic schools still operated by DCPS and provides a framework for deciding whether a school should be modernized or replaced. Section two describes the history of the public school buildings and their construction since the 1800s. Section three contains a school-by-school survey of the architecture and history on the operating schools built between 1862 and 1945. There are many school buildings that are no longer in use by the school system that are significant for their history or architecture, such as Benjamin Franklin School (1869). This report highlights the intersection of public education and preservation concerns. The preservation issues associated with closed historic schools are not addressed. Section One Planning, Design and Policy Issues Affecting the District's Old and Historic Schools Replace or Modernize: May 2001 Background open planschoolsare among themost underutilized and least desirable teaching and The last time the District of Columbia learning environments in the District. implemented a comprehensive plan to improve the condition of school facilities was in the 1970s. Unfortunately, there are many examples of poor design and construction from this last z big school construction period.Fort Lincoln (1975) (renamed Thurgood Marshall) was accepted by the District of Columbia Public 'Tv Schools (DCPS) even though there were many known problems. The roof design, in particular, has posed a continuing problem to the school system. H.D.

    An Affiliate of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 820 First Street NE, Suite 460 Washington, DC 20002 (202) 408-1080 Fax (202) 408-8173 www.dcfpi.org February 27, 2009 DC HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY TAXES REMAIN LOWEST IN THE REGION By Katie Kerstetter This week, District homeowners will receive their assessments for 2010 and their property tax bills for 2009. The new assessments are expected to decline modestly, after increasing significantly over the past several years. The new assessments won’t impact homeowners’ tax bills until next year, because this year’s bills are based on last year’s assessments. Yet even though 2009’s tax bills are based on a period when average assessments were rising, this analysis shows that property tax bills have decreased or risen only moderately for many homeowners in recent years. DC homeowners continue to enjoy the lowest average property tax bills in the region, largely due to property tax relief policies implemented in recent years. These policies include a Homestead Deduction1 increase from $30,000 to $67,500; a 10 percent cap on annual increases in taxable assessments; and an 11-cent property tax rate cut. The District also adopted a “calculated rate” provision that decreases the tax rate if property tax collections reach a certain target. As a result of these measures, most DC homeowners have seen their tax bills fall — or increase only modestly — over the past four years. In 2008, DC homeowners paid lower property taxes on average than homeowners in surrounding counties. Among homes with an average sales price of $500,000, DC homeowners paid an average tax of $2,725, compared to $3,504 in Montgomery County, $4,752 in PG County, and over $4,400 in Arlington and Fairfax counties.

    Washington Capital of the Union | September 2016

    Essential Civil War Curriculum | Kenneth J. Winkle, Washington Capital of the Union | September 2016 Washington Capital of the Union By Kenneth J. Winkle, University of Nebraska-Lincoln ashington, DC, was the most strategic and vulnerable city in the Union during the Civil War. Sandwiched between the Confederate state of Virginia to the W west and the border slave state of Maryland to the east, Washington sat astride the Civil War’s most critical and active military front, the Eastern Theater. The Union army used the city to mobilize and supply the Army of the Potomac, defend the eastern seaboard, and launch military thrusts toward Richmond. Believing that the loss of the Union’s capital would lead to immediate defeat, the Confederacy targeted Washington throughout the war. From the First Battle of Bull Run onward, Confederate armies repeatedly threatened Washington as part of General Robert E. Lee’s strategy of taking the war to the enemy. Lee’s advances into Maryland in 1862 and Pennsylvania in 1863 were primarily designed to threaten Washington, and in July 1864 Lieutenant General Jubal Anderson Early launched a direct attack on the city, which was repulsed. Throughout the war, the Lincoln administration took unprecedented actions to secure the capital against Confederate attack and suppress internal subversion at the hands of secessionist sympathizers. Meanwhile, the indirect impact of the war posed novel challenges as well as opportunities. The tripling of the city’s population produced a public health crisis that promoted epidemic diseases, including smallpox. Turning Washington into the central site of medical treatment for sick and wounded soldiers in the Eastern Theater, the army established more than one hundred military hospitals in the capital, innovating new approaches to medical care and hospital design.

A great member turnout on a beautiful spring evening saw the installation of new board members, led by incoming CPHS president Joan Habib, who takes over from Lois Orr, as Lois moves to vice presidenVprograms, and a warm send-off to retiring board members. Nominating committee chairman John Buchanan remarked that the quality of the new members testifies to the continued support CPHS enjoys among an incredibly talented pool of neighbors. CPHS outreach coordinator Judy Hubbard distributed 28 historic markers to Cleveland Park neighbors for homes throughout the historic district, bringing the number of Cleveland Park historic markers bought since the program's inception to 158, according to former CPHS president Steve Cohen, who originated the program. Retiring membership chair Kathe McDaniels reported that 482 households in the historic district belong to CPHS. Danna McCormick, incoming membership chair, has assembled a new database with help from an American University student that should help us reach out for more members among the approximately 1,309 households in the historic district, including apartment residents. ,..continued on page 3 The President's Letter by Habib CPHS Board of Directors 2006-2007 Joan I am so delighted to be able to work on the substantial and vigorous foundation Claudia Alderman you the previous Officers, Board Members, ARC and CPHS 34th Street that and all Member/Suppofiers have built for the Cleveland Park Historical Society over Alison Barr, Secretary the past 20 years.
