In anticipation of the 65th anniversary of the Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour, the Society sponsored a photo contest – “The Capitol Hill Home”. We are pleased to announce the winners: Congratulations to David Parkes, Patrick Serfass, and Margit Leiner-Henry. View photos…

1st Place, David Parkes -“Snow blanketing Capitol Hill”
Many thanks to all the artists who submitted their work! In images (and words) they convey their unique and personal views of what makes a home a “Capitol Hill Home”.

2nd Place, Patrick Serfass (the Capitol Hill Home as an igloo?)

3rd Place Margit Leiner-Henry – ” I wanted to highlight a maybe overlooked detail such as a wrought iron fence that seems like a delicate piece of lace through its cover of freshly fallen snow, competing with the still present bold fall colors of a nearby tree.”
Honorable Mentions:
