Preservation League Affected ANC: 2E The Historic Preservation Office recommends that the Board designate the Capital Traction Company Union Station a historic landmark in the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites, and that the Board request that the nomination be forwarded to the National Register of Historic Places for listing as of local significance, with a period of significance of 1894 to 1973, the era of its construction and its use by the Capital Traction Company and the Capital Transit Company. The property merits designation under National Register Criteria A and C and District of Columbia Criteria B (“History”) and D (“Architecture and Urbanism”) as one of the of the best examples of a streetcar depot and barn built or extant in Washington and perhaps the most important of them all. The majority of Washington’s streetcar barns and stables have been destroyed in whole or in greater part. This is one of perhaps eight terminals that remain, some of which date much later and are more closely associated with bus storage. It is a handsome and imposing station, unique in that it initially accommodated three independent streetcar lines that served the District and northern Virginia and that employed both cable and electric propulsion. It tells the story of the conversion of streetcars from horse to cable to electric propulsion.

Submitted by the National Park Service July 3, 2008 Abstract The National Park Service (NPS) has submitted final site and building plans for the Wisconsin Avenue Terminus portion of the Georgetown Waterfront Park that was approved by the Commission as a preliminary design in February 2007. This key focus area of the Park maintains all features approved by the Commission in its earlier review. Commission Action Requested by Applicant Approval of final site and building plans pursuant to 40 U.S.C. § 8722 (b)(1) and (d) Executive Director’s Recommendation The Commission: Approves the final site and building plans for the Georgetown Waterfront Park, Wisconsin Avenue Terminus, as shown on the NCPC Map File No. 72.00(70.00)-42569.
