Скачать или смотреть Barnaby Woods (DC Neighborhood 5 / 131)

OVERVIEW AND LOCATION:

Barnaby Woods is located in the upper northwest quadrant of Washington, DC. It is bounded by Aberfoyle Place to the north, Oregon Avenue to the east, Tennyson Street to the south, and Western Avenue to the west.

HISTORY OF BARNABY WOODS:

From the Washington Post, November 7, 1937, “After a comprehensive study of the land, with its rolling terrain, springs, and streams, a street layout was evolved to preserve the original contours and natural sylvan beauty of the tract.”

The homes were restricted to white buyers only. From the same Post article: “Careful architectural and social restrictions guarantee each home buyer in this community a sound investment.”

FAST FACTS:

The only change the neighborhood has undergone since its development are new developments on Oregon Avenue built in the 1970s and 1990s.

Barnaby Woods is entirely residential with no commercial land zoning; one of the few instances in the city.
