Washington Post on recent developments in our area: "From Showrooms to Showplaces:
D.C.'s 'Auto Row' Being Remodeled Into Trendy Neighborhood"
"Washington's swath of old auto showrooms, a magnet for car shoppers before World War II, is hopping again -- not with customers in search of wheels but with construction crews carving out loft condominiums. Nearby, old repair shops and garages have been customized into chic living spaces."

Grants Available for Preservation
The National Trust for Historic Preservation invites non-profits and
government agencies to apply for the upcoming round of the Dorothea de
Schweinitz Preservation Services Fund, which awards matching seed grants
from $1,000 to $5,000 for preservation planning and educational outreach
efforts in Washington, DC.
A principal goal of the fund is to increase the capacity of preservation
groups to revitalize the District through rehabilitation, restoration, and
the adaptive use of important historic resources. Typical uses of the fund
include feasibility studies for endangered buildings and sites,
architectural planning, landscape research and planning, development of
heritage education programs, and co-sponsorship of workshops and
conferences. The fund does not award grants for building or construction
projects, acquisitions, academic research or historic resource surveys for
inventories or as preparation for National Register nominations.
For your reference, attached is a copy of the Preservation Services Fund
application and guidelines. If you wish to apply, please contact Nell Ziehl
in the National Trust's Southern Field Office by email Nell_Ziehl@nthp.org or
