My row house on Lincoln Park was built circa 1890 and when we bought it it came with a binder of newspaper clippings from the era about the neighborhood that suggested it was going to be a fancy up-and-coming place.

Glover park has been unchanged in demographics since 1910. Used to have academics then (GU profs and scientists at the naval observatory), still has academics today (GU, AU profs, scientists and some economists/lawyers thrown in)
Kinda interesting how some areas are pretty constant and others have changed a ton.

That's super cool. Actual 100+ year old clippings or were these reproductions?

Originals! It seemed like they’d been clipped and stored somehow and then carefully put into those vinyl sheet binders that everyone used for photo albums in the ‘60s and ‘70s. When I got them they were packed in an cardboard box from about that era marked “House Memorabilia” that also has pictures of the house and the park through the years. I’ve meant to get it all digitized and put into some proper archival quality storage for ages, but it’s still in the back of my closet just where I found it 20 years ago.
