  • Suburbanization Historic Context and Survey Methodology
    INTRODUCTION The geographical area for this project is Maryland’s 42-mile section of the I-95/I- 495 Capital Beltway. The historic context was developed for applicability in the broad area encompassed within the Beltway. The survey of historic resources was applied to a more limited corridor along I-495, where resources abutting the Beltway ranged from neighborhoods of simple Cape Cods to large-scale Colonial Revival neighborhoods. The process of preparing this Suburbanization Context consisted of: • conducting an initial reconnaissance survey to establish the extant resources in the project area; • developing a history of suburbanization, including a study of community design in the suburbs and building patterns within them; • defining and delineating anticipated suburban property types; • developing a framework for evaluating their significance; • proposing a survey methodology tailored to these property types; • and conducting a survey and National Register evaluation of resources within the limited corridor along I-495. The historic context was planned and executed according to the following goals: • to briefly cover the trends which influenced suburbanization throughout the United States and to illustrate examples which highlight the trends; • to present more detail in statewide trends, which focused on Baltimore as the primary area of earliest and typical suburban growth within the state; • and, to focus at a more detailed level on the local suburbanization development trends in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, particularly the Maryland counties of Montgomery and Prince George’s. Although related to transportation routes such as railroad lines, trolley lines, and highways and freeways, the location and layout of Washington’s suburbs were influenced by the special nature of the Capital city and its dependence on a growing bureaucracy and not the typical urban industrial base.

  • Walter Rupert Tuckerman, Father of Bethesda by William Offutt
    The Montgomery County Story Vol. 50, No.4 November 2007 Walter Rupert Tuckerman, Father of Bethesda By William Offutt "It's a wise child that knows its own father," wrote Homer a long time before we knew about DNA and paternity suits. Some towns and cities, such as Rome and D.C., have well known or storied founders like Romulus, Remus and Pierre L'Enfant, but many do not. Chevy Chase boasts of the supposed foresight of Francis Newlands and has a fountain dedicated to his memory. Silver Spring honors the Blairs who named it and Sam Eig who modernized it. Glen Echo has the Baltzley twins to celebrate, and Georgetown even knows which two Georges started it. But like Topsy and many other villages and towns, Bethesda just grew. It grew especially after the new toll road opened and created that odd Y-shaped intersection in its middle where the old road to Georgetown angles in from the west and the newly macadamed turnpike plows straight toward the distant courthouse. But if the Bethesda of comfortable homes on tree• shaded lots (not the one of tall office and apartment buildings, two hundred restaurants, busy streets, impossible parking and oversized McMansions), suburban Bethesda with its modest business district, small parks and good schools had a father, he is an all-but-forgotten banker named Walter Rupert Tuckerman. Walter Tuckerman was a fine horseman, champion golfer, excellent tennis player and well-bred lawyer. He was a tall, spare, quiet and gentle man. When Tuckerman discovered very rural Bethesda, the crossroads on the twenty-five-year-old, single-track trolley line was well on it's way to becoming a very blue-collar community.

Alta Vista was developed beginning in 1901 along the Georgetown and Rockville Electric Railway. The suburb was developed by J. H. Miller of the American Security and Trust Company and owned by the Bethesda Land Company. Alta Vista originally consisted of 222 acres divided into lots ranging from two to eight acres (Offutt 1996, 284). The streets are arranged in a discontinuous grid pattern and named after trees (Ibid.). During the first decades of the twentieth century, the lots in Alta Vista were re- subdivided several times to accommodate prospective buyers of modest means (Ibid.). Housing types found in Alta Vista include the four-square and the bungalow (Ibid.). The area north and east of Alta Vista, which is characterized by curvilinear streets, developed during the 1940s and 1950s.

  • MS 0841, Adelaide Heath Doig Scrapbook Collection, 1874 - 1962
    801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 www.DCHistory.org SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: MS 0841, Adelaide Heath Doig Scrapbook Collection, 1874 - 1962 Processor: David G. Wood Processed Date: September 2015 Adelaide Bell Heath was born on November 5, 1891, the only child of Anna Barnes Heath and Hartwell Peebles Heath. The Barnes' and the Heaths were members of Washington's "resident society,” a group whose social position stemmed not exclusively from wealth, but rather their membership in accomplished families that had resided in the District, Maryland, or Virginia for generations—and whose more illustrious members were often found, if not at the center, then at least on the edges of political power. Adelaide’s maternal grandfather, Joseph Barnes, had been appointed Surgeon General of the United States Army by President Lincoln, and was present at Lincoln's bedside in the Peterson House on the morning the President died. Her mother, Anna, had been a bridesmaid at the White House wedding of President Grant's daughter, Nellie. Her father’s family belonged to Virginia's plantation aristocracy, having owned land south of the James River since colonial times. Adelaide’s grandmother Heath was the former Betty Mason, the youngest daughter of John Young Mason, who had been a Congressman from Virginia, federal judge, Attorney General, and finally U.S. Minister to France in the Pierce and Buchanan administrations. Though Adelaide lived part of her adult life elsewhere, she was firmly rooted in Washington, D.C. Her godfather was Charles Carroll Glover, the Riggs National Bank president who played a critical role in the creation of local landmarks such as National Cathedral and Glover-Archbold Park.

  • The Montgomery County Story
    The Montgomery County Story Vol. 46,No.4 November 2003 A SHORT HISTORY OF COUNTY COUNTRY CLUBS By William M. Offut At one time there were big signs on Wisconsin Avenue in Montgomery County near the District Line that informed travelers that they were entering a "country club community." The local Chamber of Commerce meant Bethesda, although they had a hard time deciding exactly where the signs should go and some folks in Chevy Chase protested loudly. These days, the whole county might well be so designated for all of our major highways lead to country clubs or to other golf and tennis facilities of one sort or another. What we now know as "country clubs" began several centuries ago in London associations formed by upper class men for their peers. Like many other things English, these clubs were transported to the Atlantic colonies. The oldest may well have been the South River Club near Annapolis that began about 1700. By the 1830s the gentlemen's clubs and their wealthy members were recognized influences in American cities such as Boston and New York and had spread to San Francisco and Baltimore before the Civil War. All followed a fairly rigid pattern in which there were written by-laws and rules and an admissions committee with its ballot box and the dreaded black ball. The design of clubhouses generally followed English patterns with sitting and dining rooms as well as sleeping chambers. Some clubs developed arcane rituals, but in general good manners and the social graces were expected and women and the common folk were excluded.
