I asked the National Historic Registry to scan in their application photos from 1989 of our neighborhood and they sent them back the same day! There are over 150 photos so I’m going to upload them by street. If you’d like to see the whole PDF you can visit the National Park Service at – http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/testing/requests/MD_90001017.pdf.
If you have any old photos of our neighborhood (even if they have people as the main subject and our houses inside or out in the background) please send to heather@historiccitypark.com!
