Most Endangered Places for 2000 Historic D.C. Public Schools
DC Public Schools announced plans in 1997 to sell or lease 51 of 153 schools built between 1864 and 1959. These schools are historically significant and eligible for landmark status. In 1999, the League sponsored landmark applications for the Webster School (1882), 740 H Street, NW, and supported other school nominations. DCPL will be nominating additional historic schools in 2000. The League is also working with the PTA to preserve the Stevens School (1868), 1050 21st Street, NW, the oldest elementary school built to provide equal facilities for African-American children. A multi-property nomination has been submitted to the DC State Historic Preservation Office. While some schools have been successfully sold and redeveloped without significant alterations, others have been sold and threatened with demolition. The Oyster School was demolished by the city government itself in 1999. Co-chairs: Tanya Beauchamp and Marc Fetterman |
