Does CHRS restore houses or recommend contractors who do?
No. The Society’s published Guidelines will assist those planning restoration and renovation projects in the historic district. If I know of a business that I think is illegally operating in the residential district or of a party house that is disturbing the peace, should I contact CHRS? CHRS can help you find out if a business is being operated illegally and can support complaints about nuisance properties. The Society can help you report violations and advise you on the most expeditious process. Such problems may take a long time to resolve, however. This said, it boils down to political pressure. It helps to vote in elections and to pay attention to what local representatives say and do. When is the Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour? The CHRS House Tour is always held on Mother’s Day. Tickets are sold at Eastern Market and at other businesses about a month before the tour. (View information about the House and Garden Tour.)
