CHRS Mini Guided Block Walks
As part of the CHRS Beyond the Boundaries activities, we have been offering neighborhood walking tours. We have to date offered a tour of Barney Circle (a neighborhood in the southeast) and two tours in the northeast. The tours run between one and two hours and cover a variety of things, ranging from architecture to development history to developer profiles (with the occasional odd scandal thrown in), depending on the tour.
For this year’s house tour, we have developed two mini-versions of our longer walking tours to give you a sampling.
Our first tour will be of Elliott Street, which is outside of the historic district and contains three of our tour houses. Elliott Street is a one block street located between G Street and Maryland, and between 13th and 14th Streets. This tour will look at the buildings, as well as the “who, how, and when” of the street’s development. Tour Leaders: Donna Hanousek/Peter Sefton.
Our second tour, which covers the 100 block of 13th Street, NEand the 200 block of Tennessee Avenue, NE (shown above), will focus on the Victorian and Craftsman styles found in our neighborhoods. This tour begins in the historic district and ends outside the historic district. Tour Leader: Beth Purcell.
Tour times and meeting places are as follows:
- Tour 1: Elliott St., NE
Sunday 12:30 and 4:30
Meets at the corner of F and Elliott, NE
- Tour 2: 13th St. and Tennessee Ave., NE
Sunday 1:30 and 2:30
Meets at 102 13th St., NE
