An exacting accounting of the historical events and places in DC’s Ward 3 is covered in a newly released publication by the D.C. Office of Historic Preservation. The guide, available online and by special request in print, is the second-to-last of the city’s eight wards to be featured in the fully illustrated color booklet. DC Historian Kim Protho Williams said the guide covers the unique character-defining features of Ward 3 that shaped its development, including its elevation, rural nature, isolation from the city, transportation networks, prestige, institutions, zoning, and racially discriminatory practices. Access the guide — along with those from other wards — here.
