Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The Rock Creek Park Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, under National Register Criteria A, B, and C, with a period of significance from 1791 to 1941. As described in the 1991 registration form, the core of the Rock Creek Park Historic District is the creek itself and the picturesque scenery surrounding it. The original historic district conformed to the boundaries of Public Reservation 339 and included approximately 1,429 acres of natural forest growth as well as a little over 310 acres of development including recreational facilities, roads, trails, structures, and sites. This amended nomination expands the Rock Creek Park Historic District boundaries to include several adjacent and related public reservations considered part of Rock Creek Park: Reservations 356, 402, 432, 433, 308A, 545, 635, 630, and 563. Formed between 1913 and 1950, the added reservations serve as access routes into the park and as a means of preserving Rock Creek Valley’s watershed. Reservation 308A is a correction related to the inclusion of the Peirce Springhouse; the original nomination incorrectly recorded it as being within Reservation 339. The reservations include parkland that is both contiguous and non-contiguous to Reservation 339. Formed under several planning bodies including the National Capital Park Commission, later renamed the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, an administrative reorganization brought these bordering reservations into the Rock Creek Division of the National Park Service’s (NPS) National Capital Parks in 1976.1 1 National Capital Park Commission established by the Park Commission Act (43 Stat. 463), June 6, 1924, to Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Rock Creek Park Historic District (Amended Washington, D.C. Nomination and Boundary Increase) Name of Property County and State Additional research and documentation projects have required the re-evaluation of several resources for their contribution to the park. These resources include cultural landscapes, archeology, trails, roads, and bridges, located in both the historic district’s original boundaries and within the added reservations. Resources from the post-World War II and the Mission 66 periods that are located within the existing boundaries of the Rock Creek Park Historic District have also been re-evaluated for their contribution to Rock Creek Park. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The following description and inventory follows the general format set out in the 1991 National Register registration form for the Rock Creek Park Historic District. As such, the following section documents resources considered to be of sufficient size and scale to be included in the historic district inventory. The following narrative description addresses three categories of resources: those whose contributing/non- contributing status has been amended from the 1991 registration form; those that have been newly added since the 1991 registration form; and those (both contributing and non-contributing) that have been demolished since the 1991 registration form was completed, and therefore were removed from the resource inventory count. The narrative description of new or amended resources will be categorized into Amended/Added Contributing Resources and Non-Contributing Resources sections. The Amended/Added Contributing Resources section will be organized

This residential district with a central commercial corridor maintains a strong connection to its past and conveys a sense of history through its carefully planned streets, historic architecture, and open spaces. Initially on the rural edge of the young federal city, the area that became Woodley Park remained largely undeveloped until late in the 19th century. Today, however, rowhouses have replaced agricultural fields, country estates have given way to apartment buildings, and Connecticut Avenue— Woodley Park’s primary thoroughfare—is lined with Woodley Park in winter looking northwest busy restaurants and shops. over Connecticut Avenue bridge, 1908. Library of Congress Together, Woodley Park’s mix of former country estates, semi-detached houses, apartment buildings, and row- houses comprise a distinguishable entity that has merited recognition as a National Register Historic District. The Woodley Park Historic District is bounded roughly by Cathedral Avenue to the north and east, 29th Street to the west, and Woodley Road and Connecticut Avenue to the south and southwest. The district is significant for its varied architecture, featuring the work of notable archi- tects such as George Santmyers, Albert Beers, William Allard, and Mihran Mesrobian, and for its contribution to our understanding of development patterns in Washington, DC. 1 afforded a commanding view of the buildings under construction in the nascent capital, the port at Georgetown, and the expanse of the Potomac River.

Washington, DC 20008-1207 l .A.2 (NCR-ROCR) FEB 27 2020 Mr. David Maloney State Historic Preservation Officer Attn: Mr. Andrew Lewis DC Historic Preservation Office Office ofPlanning 1100-4th Street, SW, Suite E650 Washington, DC 20024 RE: Rock Creek Park - Unified Signage Plan - Seeking Review and Concurrence to Finding of No Adverse Effect Dear Mr. Maloney: The National Park Service (NPS) is continuing the planning for a proposal to develop a unified plan for signage for U.S. Reservation 339 and other properties administered by Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, including units ofthe Civil War Defenses ofWashington. As such, we seek your review and comment on the proposed undertaking. Existing signage within Rock Creek Park and its administered sites is inconsistent with modem standards, having been installed incrementally over the last 20 years. Further, many areas are lacking identification and visitor wayfinding. This plan represents a sign palette or system that can be used and implemented in the future and provides a consistent and unified look. Signs being designed under this project include park identity signs, roadway signs, and trail signs. The proposed system is based on a modem Uni Guide system and standards, and is being developed by Hunt Designs, which developed the sign system for the National Mall and Memorial Parks. Please find enclosed the final sign plan and renderings for your review. Please note, the signs will not all be replaced at once. Instead, replacement and installation of new signs will occur in phases when funding is available, or when an existing sign is at the end of its useable life.
