This survey report was completed at the request of the City of College Park and the Old Town Citizens’ Association under the Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities Program. The purpose of the survey was to collect general data about the architectural and historical character of the original 1889 subdivision of College Park: today known as Old Town. The survey also resulted in preliminary findings about the potential eligibility of the survey area for listing in the National Register of Historic Places as an Historic District and for potential designation as an Historic District under the Prince George’s County Historic Preservation Ordinance. The report contains general historic background, a general architectural description, recommendations on eligibility for historic district designation, and potential actions to follow this report. The report’s appendices include sample architectural survey forms, a detailed building inventory, a glossary of building forms and styles, and the Historic Preservation Commission’s Evaluation Criteria, Policies and Guidelines. The report is illustrated with maps and photographs.

The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the Northern Gateway Community Development Corporation developed a Wayfinding and Signage Plan to identify opportunities for residents and visitors to navigate the Northern Gateway area. These opportunities include the implementation of a wayfinding program, which comprises a series of signs to direct travelers to destinations throughout the Northern Gateway. Such signage is already in place or in development in several communities across the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, including neighboring Hyattsville and Takoma Park, as well as on the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail.

The Northern Gateway Community Development Corporation (NGCDC) seeks to balance the needs of diverse users—pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists—to shape an environment that ensures access, safety, and enjoyment of an approximately two-mile section of MD 193 (University Boulevard), now a busy, automobile-oriented environment in Langley Park. This project seeks to improve biking and pedestrian safety, better connect neighborhoods to the corridor and enhance the public realm. Significant investment in a new transit line, the Purple Line, has begun and the alignment for the portion that will serve the Northern Gateway area will run along University Boulevard, also known as the International Corridor. The International Corridor is a vibrant, diverse retail strip of African-American, South and Central American, Asian, and African businesses that provide essential goods and services to area residents. Along with new investment in transit, the new alignment provides the opportunity to link the corridor to a greater network of improved access and circulation and to integrate streetscape enhancements to a public realm that promotes a multi-modal environment and enhances a unique cultural and neighborhood identity. This report describes the goals, history, and recommendations for the Northern Gateway Strategies for Public-Space and Commercial-Corridor Enhancements (SPACEs) Planning Assistance to Municipalities and Communities (PAMC) project. This project was funded PAMC program administered by the Prince George’s County Planning Department.

This report summarizes the findings of an historical/architectural survey of North Brentwood, requested by the Mayor and Council of the Town. The goal of the project was to document the historic buildings and to prepare a preliminary written history of the town, the first black community to be incorporated in Prince George’s County. The report is divided into three major sections: Pre-Subdivision History, Early Sale of Lots, and Growth and Development of the Subdivision. It includes background history on the earliest development of the community, and the associations of the developer with veterans of the U. S. Colored Troops during the American Civil War. It describes the earliest dwellings built in the community, originally known as Randalltown after the family that first purchased lots and settled there in the early 1890s. It describes the expansion of the original subdivision, and the reclaiming of land formerly flooded by the Northwest Branch. It analyzes by building types the dwellings erected at the turn of the century and into the 1920s. The report also outlines the establishment of community institutions such as churches, schools, businesses, citizens’ association and firemen’s organization; it describes the community’s demographic makeup as it approached incorporation as North Brentwood in 1924. The report is supplemented by photographs, plats and maps.

This report summarizes the findings of a citizens’ study committee brought together to explore various methods of recognizing the significance of the planned community known as “Old Greenbelt.” The primary work of the study committee was an examination of the pros and cons of local historic district designation as a means of protecting community character. The study area included those portions of the present-day City of Greenbelt currently listed as an Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places. The study committee included representatives of Greenbelt Homes, Inc., private single-family property owners, members of the City of Greenbelt Advisory Planning Board, and representatives of owners of private, multifamily dwellings. Old Greenbelt is that portion of the present-day City of Greenbelt, designed and constructed as a self-sufficient “new town” between 1935 and 1941; one of three such communities built under the Green Towns Program of the Federal government’s Resettlement Administration. Greenbelt is distinguished as the most complete and, more than 50 years later, as the most intact of the Green Towns. As the first American location where the pioneering tenets of the English community planner, Sir Ebenezer Howard, were fully realized, Greenbelt has been the subject of considerable study and served as a model of community planning since before its completion. This report is divided into five primary sections: the Significance of Greenbelt, Existing Regulatory Framework, Goals and Recommendations, Historic District Implementation, and Recommended Course of Action. The report includes a background history of the design and development of the community and a description of its physical character. It includes summaries of planning and land use policies, regulations and designations currently in place. It also includes potential boundaries for a locally designated historic district and a set of design review guidelines for administering such a district. The report also outlines a recommended course of action for the pursuit of a local historic district. The report is supplemented with photographs, charts and maps.
