Work list in multiple formats

Table

[edit]
:Main page needs fleshing out and has some outdated information. Paul K. Williams and Kelton C. Higgins, Cleveland Park (Images of America)
Need photos
Needs additional citations and contains some oddities.

HISTORIC SITES and BUILDINGS

:Article is a stub with some major errors and omissions. It needs a photo.
:Needs inline citations to reliable sources (per tag on page). Parts of article read like subjective boosterism for the management company.
Recent landmark nomination
:Might be improved with reference to Kim Prothro Williams, Lost Farms and Estates of Washington, DC.
:“Multiple issues.” Links need updating

INSTITUTIONS

* https://www.jhsgw.org
  • Martin Garfinkle, The Jewish Community of Washington, DC—copy in CP Library
:Currently a stub; needs secondary sources.
:Sections on architecture and burials currently flagged as needing citations.
  • Frederick Quinn, A House of Prayer for All People
:Needs citations for what is there now. Has no information at all on the school’s history.
  • Mary Kay Lewis, Polished Corners: A History of The National Cathedral School for Girls—Carin will bring a copy
:Needs citations for what is there now. Has no information at all on the school’s history. There is a history of the school published fairly recently.
:Article needs a lot of work.
:Flagged as needing more citations.
:Article contains no information about its earlier identtiy (Tenallytown Pike, Rockville Pike, etc.) except in Georgetown, and no discussion of its streetcars. These names show up in a lot of Civil War histories, so there’d be some use in expanding the article.

PEOPLE

:There are some minor inaccuracies in the references to Rosedale in this article, and no cross-references to the Rosedale article. :Update/correct this after improving the Rosedale article. (See Rosedale sources.)
* List of houses in Cleveland Park could be expanded (CP NR nomination + HistoryQuest DC)
:“Multiple issues” (living person)
:Needs citations

Additional sources:

[edit]
  • G. Martin Moeller, AIA Guide to the Architecture of Washington, DC (2012 edition)—Carin has this on Kindle.

Kim Prothro Williams, Lost Farms and Estates of Washington, DC—Carin will bring a copy.
