  • 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.
