11th annd Euclid Street, NW in 1904

“Dear PoPville,

A while back, I was researching Columbia Heights and came across a book in the Library of Congress from 1904 titled “A Statement of Some Advantages of the Beautiful Columbia Heights A Neighborhood of Homes,” compiled and arranged by The Columbia Heights Citizens’ Association.

Recently, a single-family home at the corner of 11th and Euclid St NW sold and is slated for demolition. I remembered seeing it in this book, but the street name threw me off. Did you know Columbia Heights previously had street names like Princeton Street, Yale, Roanoke, Yale, and Kenesaw Ave? (more…)


Thanks to Cassie for sending: “Ancient technology sighting in on Calvert St. in AdMo. I wonder how many people walked by and had no clue what this is. Sadly I’m old enough to remember toiling over one of these in my first office job.”

If you have a photo of a neat find from your house, place of work or neighborhood please send an email to [email protected] thanks. Please let me know where/what neighborhood you found it in too. Thanks.
