Well this is REALLY awesome. Thanks to K Love for writing when we posted about the Biergarten Haus find: “This is my family’s old house and shoe store (later a 5&10).
I’ve also attached a photo of the building in an earlier iteration, when my great grandpa had a shoe store there (not sure the date on the photo, but my family was in the building from 1911 on).
When I was looking thru pics to find you an older one, I realized my family has a bunch of photos of H street back in the day (undated, sorry!). Thought you might like to see some of my favorites.”

DC is growing fast. You can be a part of shaping its future.
DC 2050 is the District’s next comprehensive plan, which determines where housing, jobs, and amenities should be located across the District. The DC Office of Planning is working on a full rewrite of the comprehensive plan based on technical research, best practices, and the community’s vision for DC’s future.
Why You Should Care
-
Do you struggle to find housing that meets your needs or your budget?
-
Do you want to see new businesses and economic activity in your neighborhood?
-
Are you concerned about the impact of new development?
-
Do you want to know more about how DC is changing and be a part of shaping that change?
DC 2050 is where these priorities are captured and turned into policies. This is the first full rewrite of DC’s comprehensive plan in over 20 years and your opportunity to share your priorities for how we grow for the next 25 years and beyond. No matter where you live in DC, if you rent or own, grew up here or came as an adult, your voice matters. Follow this project and get involved.
Your Voice Matters
When we kicked off this planning process in 2025, we committed to gathering feedback from DC residents, community organizations, and elected officials. From March 2025 to June 2026, we’ve reached over 6,600 people across all eight wards. We’ve also received thousands of comments across multiple online surveys.
If you have engaged with us, filled out our survey, or come to an event, thank you! We read every comment we receive and are working to incorporate the feedback into the draft plan.
Get Involved
We encourage you to share your input on DC’s future. There are lots of ways to stay up to date and get involved:
-
Sign up for the DC 2050 email list to get an alert when new events and requests for input are announced.
-
Attend an event, like our informal office hours at Tenley-Friendship Library on September 24, 3:30-5 pm.
-
Check out DC2050.com to learn more about the project.
