Anacostia Historic District Design Guidelines
2015. Anacostia Historic District Design Guidelines. D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board; District of Columbia State Historic Preservation Office
From introduction: "The Anacostia Historic District was first designated in 1973 and was expanded and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. This designation was intended to recognize and preserve Anacostia's unique architectural and cultural character. Because Anacostia is a designated historic district, exterior alterations are subject to a design review process under the District's preservation law. The Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) and the staff at the Historic Preservation Office (HPO) review building permit applications to ensure that such work preserves important character-defining features of historic properties and that alterations are compatible with the district's character. These design guidelines have been developed to assist property owners in understanding the principles and practices of preservation and compatible alterations in the Anacostia Historic District. These guidelines supplement the policies established in the city's preservation law, regulations, and current practices." Funding for this project was provided in part through a 2015 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the District of Columbia State Historic Preservation Office (project number DC-15-021, grant number P15AF00068) administered by the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
