Multimedia Tour: Historic Armesleigh Park
Armesleigh Park is an early 20th century suburb within Tenleytown. The first houses were built in 1919, coinciding with the opening of the Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenue streetcar lines, the homecoming of World War I soldiers, and the end of the Spanish influenza pandemic. During this walking tour, presented in partnership with the Tenleytown Historical Society, learn about the history of this small neighborhood, which celebrates its centennial in 2020.
