About Me

My photo
HouseHistoryMan
I have an educational background in Historic Preservation, having attended both Roger Williams and Cornell Universities. After a five year stint as a civilian in the Air Force running a very cool historic preservation grant program, I formed my own business in 1995 researching and writing up house histories in Washington, DC. I renovated the house at 1800 Vermont Ave, NW, and had it designated a National Historic Landmark before I listed the entire neighborhood as a historic district. I headed up Dupont Main Streets beginning in 2008 (remember the recession?), and began as the President of Historic Congressional Cemetery in 2012. My husband and I and our two cats live on Capitol Hill near the cemetery when we are not living aboard our Beneteau 473 sailboat in Baltimore during the extended sailing season.
