We are deeply grateful to all those who supported the 57^th Annual House and Garden Tour, including the home and garden owners, the House Captains, the advertisers, those who contributed financially, the eight businesses serving as ticket outlets and the Tour staff.

“Our volunteer driven organization helps protect Capitol Hill’s residential and commercial character. The House and Garden Tour is our largest fund raiser. If you would like to provide assistance in support of the Tour, particularly during Tour weekend, please contact the Chair of the Tour: Paul Cromwell, via phone ( 202-543-7530 ) or e-mail (paulcromwell@verizon.net)

Do you have a solid background in writing and editing? Do you think more people should know that Capitol Hill is a great place to live, work and play?  

On November 21, 2013 DDOT unveiled further plans for a Southeast Boulevard along the Anacostia from 11th Street to Barney Circle.  It is a two-lane road that would accommodate bikers, hikers and cars.  In a comment letter, CHRS questions the need for a road, notes adverse effects on the neighborhood, and calls on DDOT to hold a comprehensive study along the entire Capitol Hill waterfront.

Volunteers from the Society staffed a booth at the 2013 Barracks Row Day.  Beads to string and temporary tattoos kept the children busy while we shared our mission with the adults.
