In anticipation of the 64th anniversary of the Mothers Day Tour, the Society is holding a photo contest – “The Capitol Hill Home” – entries were due Thursday, April 1, 2021. Congratulations to the 2020 winners! 2019 winners  2018 winners 2017 winners

We’re privileged to live in an environment that is a delight to the eye, with tree shaded streets, lush gardens, yard ornaments, and houses with a wealth of architectural detail. Iron stoops, arched windows, stained glass transoms, ornate brickwork, welcoming porches…  all hallmarks of the quintessential Capitol Hill home.
