[Lincolnparkdc] Historical Article about our Neighborhood

[Deborah Hurtt]

Hi Diana et al,

I consulted a friend who does a lot of local architectural research.
According to her, not many older houses still have existing plans.  If they
were filed with the building permit back in the day, they might exist--and
would be at the National Archives in College Park, but chances are1 in
1-100 for that to be the case.

Sorry to be the bearer of little hope.
