In celebration of Women’s Equality Day, which falls on August 26, I invite you to learn about one of DC’s oldest historic landmarks that has a new story to tell. Recent research on the history of the women’s suffrage movement undertaken as part of a grant that OP’s Historic Preservation Office received through the National Park Service’s Underrepresented Communities Grant Fund, reveals a new and fuller her-story of the Benjamin Ogle Tayloe House.
Sincerely,
Anita Cozart
Director, DC Office of Planning
