Park View (Washington, D.C.)
The neighborhood is primarily residential with its main commercial corridor of shops and restauarants located along Georgia Avenue.The territory that defines the Park View neighborhood extends from Gresham Place north to Rock Creek Church Road, and from Georgia Avenue to the Soldiers' Home grounds.[7] The transition of the rural community to the west of the Soldiers' Home into Washington's Park View neighborhood dates to June 4, 1886.[9] Park View eventually included the subdivision of Princeton Heights to the north to round out the neighborhood boundaries.Reflecting the social changes occurring in the entire city of Washington, Park View desegregated at the end of the 1940s.In response to losing part of its property to the south for the Washington Hospital Center, the Soldiers' home began closing its southern gates from 1953 to 1955.[12][13] Eventually, its grounds were officially closed to residents of the neighborhoods entirely in November 1968, thus depriving the community of the only real green space it had ever known.It is significant for its architectural character and its historical association with the police department of the District of Columbia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.The designation of the Tenth Precinct and the construction of the police station in 1901 were responses to the expansion of the city limits and urban population into this area.Its imposing character in relation to the residential environs as well as its architectural quality suggested the importance of symbolic expression of authority.This expression is characteristic of the City Beautiful movement, a growing belief at the turn of the century that public structures should be imposing, monumental and of classical style.At the station house, the arrest was recorded, and the prisoner was confined there until released on bail or removed, to police court for trial or to jail to await grand jury testimony.The section of Park View north of Otis, south of Rock Creek Church Road, and between Georgia Avenue and the Soldiers' Home was first developed as Princeton Heights.This area was originally the estate of the Cammack family, which was sold by the heirs in 1908 to builder Edgar S. Kennedy, who would eventually be associated with the Kennedy–Warren.Inside, the proscenium hangings were of rich gold velour enlivened with blue medallions and white figures in relief.[25] Financing for a new school building continued to be difficult and the district's hope to develop the site as a mixed use public/private venture fell apart late in 2010.[32] The CVS was completed and open for business on July 25, 2010,[33] with an official ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Mayor Adrian Fenty, councilmembers Jim Graham and Murial Bowser, deputy mayor for planning and economic development Valerie Santos, and other representatives from CVS and the developer LaKritz/Adler[34] on July 27, 2010.Located at 3506 Georgia Avenue, NW, the building contains 81,044 square feet of residential space and 2,388 sq ft (221.9 m2) of ground floor retail.The Vue, at 3333 Georgia Avenue, is planned to rise seven-stories above the 7,000 sq ft (650 m2) ground floor retail and offer 112 residences.[44] The V, located at 3557 Georgia, is a six-story mixed-use project that consists of ground floor retail and twenty dwelling units above.The Otis Place side of the property could also support 530 sq ft (49 m2) of outdoor seating should a future tenant apply for a public space permit.Central Park View is best served by the Columbia Heights station located at the intersection of Irving and 14th Streets—three blocks west of the neighborhood.
