Latino Context Study Public Webinar
The DC Preservation League has completed the first draft of The History of Latino Communities in Washington, DC: A Context Study. This virtual presentation by architectural historian Heather McMahon—the consultant behind the project—provides an outline of that history, including associated themes and related sites. Once completed, this context study will provide a framework for nominating historic sites to the National Register of Historic Places that memorialize Latino history in the District of Columbia.
Funding for this project comes from the National Park Services’ Underrepresented Community Grants Fund, from the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) administered by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. The fund supports efforts to identify historic and cultural resources related to communities that have often been overlooked in traditional planning and preservation efforts.
