THE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION
PLAN
Protection and enhancement of the historical re
suurces located both inside th development area and
within it area of impact has ben a primary concern
(If the Pennsylvania Avenue Dvelopment Corpra
tion from the outset. The ove.all Pennsylvania Ave
,lIIP PIa" ` 1974 includes specific references 10 his
Iorie preservalion. Proceeding from (hese basic ob
jct:tives, this more precise Historic Preservsrion Plan
has been developed in order to assure fhat an errective
and cohesive "preservaion errort will accompany
new development in the Pennsylvania Avenue area.
The preservation plan establishes a methoooy . to
guide short and long-term decision-making that
affects the historical resources.
.
Essentially. the methodoloy involves several
stages: /11 inventory, evaluation and nomination 10
the National Register of the elisting buildings of '
historical or architectural significance; {2a preserva
tion 'trearmen
,
" procedure ror each category'" build
ing to b" preserved; these ,include measures and
procedures for the maintenance. thmugh preserva
tion, rehabilitation. or restoration; (J) the examination
of alternatives fo'r preservation through legislation
and rinancial procedures and techniques. coration
with purchasers and transerees of properties in the
cIvelopmenl area; 14) consideration o the practi
cability for preservation in place, restoration, or
salvage a11tratives; (5) preparation of pro: edure
required pursuant to the Encutive Order 1l9J to
the Secretary or the Interjor and to the Advisry
Council on Historic Preservation for review and
Cilltlmcni.

BACKGROUN
AN PUPOSES
e Historic presrvation has bcome an expected. com
pnent of B redevelopment scheme. for an area like
Pennsylvania Ave'hue. As hew development, new
highways, and urban decay have, in the last two
docades. framntd our downtown areas, we have
" more coNcioos of the need 10 preserve not
only the stately anmonumental public edifices but
als the more oinary areas that give us a sense of
the Pt. The areas are our neighborhos, Ih'e
once commonpface prts of. the city that possess an
overall character derived frm the special mixture of
spaces and buildings that riflect the city's hi5toricaJ
evolution.
However pesrvation is still perceived. by some
89 an impdiment t devel(pment rather t!lan as an
Jmprtant comp""t of a successful rede,velopment
effort. In, order to b most effecfive. p

rcservalion
must. be sen broly, as an inseprable part of the
development proess. This broader definition de
mands an approach o'riented to urban design rather
than jUlt 10 individual bUildings.
5
An area like the Pennsylvania Avenue National
l lis/oric Sih lends itseU to an urhan design orienta
tiun. The sole existence of one or more '.igntrtcan"
huildings is no longer a prerequisite of an .historic
district; il can be an area that exhibits unique or
ditillclive characteristics such as a concenlmrton
of 5igntficant buildings. a large numbr Ol Oldcr
hllildings in a traditional urhan organizatOn. Or B
network of significant buildings or opn spaces that
provide a framework for minor structures less easily
identifiable as 'historic' or 'signtlicanl:. lr ts lhcn,
less importanf for an historic districl tO pOssss
'signilicant' builcfings than t is for the dtslrtOl's
structures and open spaces to estahlish a n Ol
identity. confirm historical continuity and vOlultOn
through time, and evoke asSuciattOns byOnd lhO
of solely architectural character and value.
AI firs" glance. the Pennsylvania Pvnu Bra
appears to lack the qualities usually Ound dOmtnBnl
in an historic district. There is nOdclntvchBrBOcr
or cohesiveness of style and sOal as ts lOund n
Victorian San Francisco Or the
.
clganl squarcs Ol
Savannah. Instead. {he Pennsylvanta Pvnuc ara
is a particularly unmcmOrabl cnvtmnmcnl chBr
acterized by. visual incoherence and ncglcl Ol lh
past. Although the magnficcnt. symbOlc vtQB lrOm

itself, the street edges of this great Pvnucarc ltnod

agreement contains the necesary clauses requiring
the rOct OwDcr lu accomplish the preservation
activity. Since the Corporation retains title to the
property. it can preserve the structure hom demoli
tion or renovation inconsistent with the Plan. An
alternative would b for Ihe Corpration to acquire
the fee. but then lease to the former owner after
preservation activities had been completed. The bur-'
den for subsequent maintenance would fall to the
lessee, although some reduction in the lease rate
might b made.
"LESS-THAN-FEE"
CONTROLS BY PAC
While sveral "'ess-thanMfee" controls may b utilized
by the Crpration. the one of primary concer is the
easment. An easment can be simply defined as 8
privilege he,ld by one person to make some use of the
subjected property in 'derogati"on of the psS8r
rights of the owner of the proprty. The idea of an
easement is to remove {rom the package of ownership
rights thos which can be best called deleloment
rights. thereby prohibiting present and future OWners
from exercising the-m for a stated prio of time.
Easements can be used to protect open spaces
and facades and in.erior areas of historic structures.
Easements may b acquired through gift. purchase,
or wndemnation, subject to the
,
Uniform Reloation
Assistance and the Real Proprty A_cquisitjon Policies
Act or 1970 limitations where appropriate, The dona
tion of easements to qualified recipients such as the
CorPralion, by prorty owners may make the donor
eligible for Fede_ral tax deductions and reductions i n
local real 'property- assssments. .
Easment instruments must b very' carefully
drafted and .ihould include agreements regarding per
missible use of the property, duration of the easment,
and manner of enforcement or the easement. The
instrument must also, spciry the rights and obliga
t,ions prtinent to bth subsequent holders of the ease
ment and subsequent purchars of the property.
Alihough purchase or condemnation of an ea5e
men. may b cheaper than acquiring the entire fee.
-the lIalue of the delelopment rights may be such (hat
they reprlsent a major prtion of the property's rair
market value. Therefore, acquisition or an easefent
t
restricting these rights could b almost as expensive
as purchasing the proprty itslf.
From the Corpration'S standpint, ownership of
an easment can accomplish both or ils preserva
tion goals. As the holder of the easement. the Corpo
ration can, by Various meanS. reslore and preserve
now, while also providing for the preservation in
perpetuity of those elements of the property subject
to the easment.
Mention must b also made of the posibility
of using restrictive convenants land equitable servi
tudes) as control mechanisms. A restrictive covenant
is a "promis which runs with the land," and there
fore is not truly a "'ess-thanfee" interest in. the pro
erty as are easements or leases. It, however. can b as
effective a an easment in proucing the desired
results. The covenant represnts a promise not to
develop or us the historic structure or the land on
which it sits in a manner not - consistent with the
spcific historic preservation aims. The restriction
is usually incorprated at the time or a conveyance
of the affecled proprty. The promise would be bind
ing 'not only on tl immediate parties involved in the
conleyance, but als Upn those t whom the prop
,erty is subsquently transferred. The law relating to
resrictive cOvenants is very comple) and represents
a major hurdle t their use. However, this mechanism
can b of sme us t Pennsylvania Avenue Develop.
menl Crpration. A a paty t the cgnveyance, it
can insist upfl the inclusion of such covenants for
the protection of , the historic property. If properly
drawn, this mechanism can accomplish Pennsylvania
Avenue Dveloment Corpration's long term gol.
although it is of little use in advancing its short term
gol

"POLCE POWR"
REGULTON
The Pennsylv8nio A venue Plltn -197 and its sup
prting douments. inclUding this H;storic Preserva-
t;on Plan. will b the primary means t hrough which
the more detailed elements of preservation wllhin the
PennsylVania Avenue development area will be ac
complished. The Plan a
nd its supplements are based
upn the Pennsylvania Avenue Develnpment Corpo
ration Act of 1972. The Act mandated that the Corpo
ration in preparation of the Plan take cognizance of
the historic relationships which permeate the cere
monial way of the Nation. This Historic Preservation
Plan is a fulfillment or that mandate.
The Historic Preservation Plan will become the
guiding force of preservation activities, both public
and private. within the A venue area. Through Section
7 of the enabling act. this preservation plan will be
enfo.ced by the Lrpration to assure implementation
of the tiisoric elements of the Penmlvania A venue
Plan-1974.
In addition to. "Corporation enforcement or this
preservalion plan by its own police power, the Corpo
ration will seek changes in the present District of
Columbia Zoning Hegulations designed to create in
centives to historic preservation aclivities by 'private
pro'ty owners_oSuch incentives as bonus bulk de
velopment or a system of transfer development rights
are bing studied for submission to the District of
Columbia Zoning Cmmission.
.
Historic preservation activities wiU also be aided
by recent changes '10 the District of Columbia Build
ing Coe, which provide ror review by the Joinl Com
mile on Landmarks arid the Stale Historic Preserva
tiOn Officer of prmits to alter or demolish btlilding,
. structures, or places listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. Since most of the Corporation's de
velopment area is within the boundaries of the Penn
sylvania Avenue %ational
'
Historic Site. all permit
aplications which seek to demolish or' alter any
building or structure in the area must be reviewed.
If
.
such act.ions are found to be cn(rary to the publ.
interest, a delay can b impo.sed on the issuance of
the prmit of up fu 180 days to permit negolialiofls
seking t presrve_ the building. structure, or place.
Finally. the Dislriel 01 Columbia Council is in the
proess o enacting a new section to the Subdilision
Regutions or the District of Columbia which will
delay (or up t 180 days the subdivision or any land
included within a district or site on the National
Register of Historic Places, if it is determined 10 be
in the public interest to do so.

EVALUATIQN
An important "spect (,f this preser,;i
'
; .. " t; '" ;,as
b(an tfl clf:vctop a system for evalualing the remaining
t:nvirnmcnllli (I[mlilies of the site. The evaluation
40
process addresses itselr to the preservation of Penn
sylvania Avenue area as a coherent physical com
munity rather than to the preservation or .individual
historic slructures in the area.
First. a preliminary list of all' structures and sites
or pssible signiricance or interest was prepared to
be identified and evaluated. Il was essntially a H-
lering process to select the buildings to b prerved.
At this stage no evaluation was mae excep ror tho
concerning historic and architectural ractora o p
sible imprlance' to the historic district, ba on
the rollowing: . .
All buildings of any interest dating from
bfore 1914 which surive subantially
intact;
All go quality althoth moes build
ings dating from berore IVI9 which survive
su bstantially intact;
All high quality bUilings datin fr b
fore 1914 as well as the majo.- wOlks o
principal architects, alld .
Key buildings of the moem gM.
CLASSIFICATON
It was necessary to proeed to a more scific con
sideration of each structure in order to determine its
propr value to th'e district and its subsquent tteat
men!. The following classifictio is n sientific or
detailed to contain the kind of ractual data fond in'
customary inventory forms. (n a hisoric disttict such
as Pennsylvania Avenue which exhibts no clear
bou ndaries or homogeneity of arehihcturat stylet i is
necessary to develop a classifition which can pro
vide B logical but flexible framework for an urban
design orientation to preservation.
The various structures singl out i t evalua
tion as pssessing a certain significnce of interest
were then classifjed as to the nable of that .jgniri
pance. Three categories were determine:
I . IndividueJ or Amups of structurs of out
standing character, Thes structures, dis
play architectural quality or greater sjgnir
icance than the surrounding buildings.
The character'ofsuch buildings innuence
and enhance their immeiate environment
and their continued decay or los would
profoundly aHed the city's iage.
I
L
2. Individual o. groups of structures of par
ticular character which are imprtant to
the historical district. These structures are
necessary to maintain I he ambience or
the hjsorical district. although they may
not b of ;S signiricantly high at
"
chitec.
tural quality as the buildings in the first
category.
3. I ndivicfual. or Amups of structures of lesser
architecturel merit but 5.t;11 contrbuting to
the character of the district.
Buildings in the first category can generally be
eJpected to be large. smetimes monumental. struc
tres which, by virtue or bth size, scale and quality
have a great enecl on the city. They are the structures
that, 'over time. people come to view a pnanent
landmarks, almost as ir the buildings were natural
reatures in the urban landscape.
Structures in the
second category are tose which have les of an im
pact on the city, but may b or greater value as
examples of a certain style, type, or time or building.
Buildings
.
or bth this and the tl1ird categry are thoe
which create the character or an area. It is these
smaller buildings, the .rdinary shopfronts and row
houss, which lined the streets btwen the more
monumental structures. It is this ambience that the
Historic Preservation Plan intends la
,
reinrorce in the
area around Indiana AIenue and 7th Stteel.
CJTGRIES O}
TEATEN
A set of cat'!gories or .treatment ror buildings. and one
for statues and monuments were determine to 0
