Historic charm neutralized. Why not just paint the trim a more harmonious color and improve the landscaping? 930 North Belvedere.

DC Preservation League and law firm Cultural Heritage Partners are “seeking an emergency injunction” to see that the Eisenhower Executive Office Building undergoes “procedural requirements of federal preservation and environmental law” prior to any renovation work.

Trump wants to “clean, point, and paint” the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, even sharing renderings of its gray granite facade repainted white. The latest in a string of Trump-led tweaks to the White House complex, the EEOB makeover is now out for bids, with the President brushing off fears it’ll become a “big white blob.”

What a shame to lose this wonderfully eccentric circa 1965 stone building for a Bojangles.

Stately dark brick home at 216 N. McNeil in the Evergreen Historic District falling victim to the sprayer. Such a shame to be losing the beauty and structural integrity of our historic architecture and the unique charm and character of our historic neighborhoods.

It’s very disappointing and frustrating to see that in spite of all of our calls and messages, painting continues on these beautiful and historic buildings on East Parkway. Thank you for your interest and concern for our historic architecture. Since there are few prohibitions in place to prevent this destruction and little enforcement of existing guidelines, all we can do at this point is try to raise awareness of the negative impact of painting historic masonry and encourage appropriate redevelopment. Again, thank you!

Kudos to the tenants of the endangered apartment buildings on East Parkway for sharing their plight as renters of the property and their preservation concerns with local media. Thank you to Kate Bieri for covering the story for Fox13 and for including the MMPS page in your report. Let’s hope getting the word out will help save these properties from further damage and encourage developers to end the practice of painting historic masonry buildings.
