The Del Ray Citizens Association (DRCA) is hosting a Historic Preservation Workshop on Saturday (June 21) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Mt. Vernon Community School auditorium.
This workshop aims to educate the community and explore ways to protect the Town of Potomac Historic District. There is also talk of possibly creating a new, larger district that would encompass the rest of Del Ray.
Rod Kuckro, who co-chairs the DRCA Historical Committee, will begin with a presentation on how the Town of Potomac Historic District was established.
Next, Leland Ness from the Town of Potomac Historical Association will delve into Del Ray’s architectural development. Architect Paul DeCourt will then explore the idea of expanding the historic district.
Al Cox, who previously served as the Historic Preservation Manager for Alexandria, will explain the city and council’s role in further protecting the Town of Potomac District.
The event will also cover how to research property history and the benefits of preservation easements.
Want to attend? You can sign up online through the Del Ray Citizens Association website.
