Preface This cultural history of Narberth was written by Victoria Donohoe, a lifelong resident of Narberth. It was written over a forty-year period from about 1980 until her death in 2018. Victoria did not complete the book but left it in manuscript form in her house. Neighbor and friend Nancy Greene, who had helped type chapters for Victoria in the last years of her life, was able to secure Victoria's writings (and supporting documentation) when Victoria was moved into a retirement home. Victoria died before the book could be completed but Nancy has typed and organized the material as closely as possible to the way she believes Victoria would have wanted it.

    HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD Historic Landmark Case No. 19-01 Capital Traction Company Union Station 36001 and 3601 M Street NW Square 1203, Lot 47; Square 1202, Lot 840; and part of the 36th Street right-of-way Meeting Date: January 24, 2019 Applicant: Prospect Street Citizens Association and D.C. 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.

The coordinates for the Washington Canoe Club are 77.071863 W and 38.904553 N, and they were obtained in January 2013 with, it is assumed, NAD 1983. There is no restriction on the release of the locational data to the public. For research purposes, in the land records for the District of Columbia the Washington Canoe Club was described as within the boundaries of parcel 27/36 in the 1910s and by the 1980s as in square 1180, lot 1. Present Owner/ Occupant: Today, the building is on land within the boundaries of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The clubhouse was built in the early 1900s by the Washington Canoe Club, and subsequently maintained by the Canoe Club membership. After a fire and life safety inspection revealed areas of concern, the National Park Service (NPS) closed the building in 2010.1 The boathouse was unoccupied from that time until early in 2013.
