Do you notice these metal plaques on Capitol Hill homes and wonder what they mean? They indicate a preservation or conservation easement — a legal agreement in which an owner donates the easement to protect the property against demolition, neglect or insensitive alterations.
Join us September 25 for a free online talk with folks from the L’Enfant Trust, which holds most of the easements on the Hill. They’ll share insights on how to donate an easement, what makes a property eligible, and the responsibilities of easemented property owners.
They’ll also tell us about a program you may not know about — its transformational Historic Properties Redevelopment Program in Historic Anacostia. Since 2013, the program has rehabilitated deteriorated, vacant historic properties into affordable home ownership opportunities for the community.
This Preservation Cafe will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 25. Sign up via Eventbrite to get the Zoom link.
