Neighborhoods,” and "A Guide to Real Estate Directories." HABS 3 THE HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY (HABS) On a November day in 1933 Charles E. Peterson, an architect for the National Park Service, wrote a letter to Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. Peterson proposed that relief employment be provided for architects by having them record interesting and historic buildings of all kinds, so as to document their history before they passed into oblivion. Ickes was supportive of the idea. Harry Hopkins, assistant to President Roosevelt, approved the plan, which was to fall under the Civil Works Administration, and later the Works Projects Administration. On November 29 the Washington Post reported that 1,200 architects would be employed for six months to measure, photograph, and prepare drawings of historic public buildings, churches, bridges, homes, and other structures. -
District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA INVENTORY OF HISTORIC SITES The D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites is the official list of historic properties maintained by the Government of the District of Columbia. These properties are deemed worthy of recognition and protection for their contribution to the cultural heritage of the city that is both national capital and home to more than a half million residents. The Inventory had its beginnings in 1964 and remains a work in progress. It is being continually expanded as additional survey and research supports new designations and more complete documentation of existing listings. At present, there are about 600 entries, covering more than 535 landmark buildings, 100 other structures, and 100 parks and places. There are also about two dozen designated building clusters and another two dozen neighborhood historic districts encompassing an estimated 23,500 buildings. Complete professional documentation of such a large number of properties to current preservation standards is an extensive undertaking that is still incomplete. For this reason, some listings in the Inventory provide a full description of the historic property, while others provide outline information only. Organization: The layout of the Inventory is designed to promote understanding of significant properties within their historic context. Designations are grouped by historical time period and theme, rather than being listed in alphabetical order. For organizational purposes, the historical development of the District of Columbia is divided into six broad historical eras, with separate sections on early Georgetown and Washington County, the port town and outlying countryside that were separate legal entities within the District for most of the 19th century. -

This database was augmented in February 2013 with additional data reflecting newly listed properties on the National Register. G.1.2 Consultation On December 13, 2012, early notification letters announcing the preparation of an EA for the DC OAPM project and requesting additional information relevant to the project were distributed to relevant public officials, including the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) for the states located within the General Study Area and 17 Native American tribes. Responses were received from the following agencies: Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, Bureau of Historic Preservation Maryland Historical Trust West Virginia Division of Culture and History Virginia Department of Historic Resources The response letters are included in Appendix A. G.1.3 Noise Exposure at Historic Sites Table G-1 identifies the 2,690 historic resources identified within the General Study Area and for which noise was modeled. The inventory includes the name, address, and geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of each historic resource, and presents the calculated noise exposure values under 2011 existing conditions and Proposed Action and No Action conditions for 2013 and 2018. -
