Historic District Surveys

Kelsey & Associates has experience in conducting intensive level history surveys for many communities in and around Washington, DC., including Greater U Street, Shaw, and Tenleytown. Selected as the contractor from the local neighborhood organizations (as recipient of funding from the city's Historic Preservation Division), Kelsey & Associates works with local volunteers to completely document the existing structures through investigative research, building permits, census, and digital photography. Combined with a historical context for the neighborhood, the results are a richly illustrated and integrated text document with database tables and source material that communities can consult when planning future preservation decisions. Each report also includes several preservation recommendations and options.

The Shaw East Survey

The Shaw East survey, begun in 2000, included a total of 23 full or partial Squares containing 781 individual structures or properties. Its general boundaries are N Street to the south, Florida Avenue to the north, 7th Street to the west, and New Jersey Avenue to the east. Click here for the final survey document.
