The L'Enfant Trust had a wonderful time celebrating preservation efforts in Washington at the District of Columbia Awards for Excellence in Historic Preservation on Tuesday night, co-hosted by the DC Historic Preservation Office, the DC Preservation League and the Daughters of the American Revolution in the historic DAR Constitution Hall. These awards celebrate excellence in design and construction, community involvement, and stewardship in DC's historic communities.

The Trust kicked off Preservation Month in Historic Anacostia!  We toured the neighborhood with students from the Master of Historic Preservation Program at the University of Maryland on a damp, muggy Friday afternoon. We shared with the students our role as a non-profit historic real estate developer in community revitalization and discussed the preservation techniques used in each of our completed Anacostia projects.
