Ashton Heights: A Neighborhood Survey.
(Realia)

The collection is divided into two series, one for the survey forms and the second for the papers written by the students.

Please contact the Center for Local History in advance to view these materials. There are no research restrictions.

RG 112 is the work gathered by the students in Richard Longstreths' course "Historic Preservation -- Principles and Methods" from George Washington University in the spring of 1994. The study undertaken by the students was to conduct a survey of some of the historic residences in the Arlington County neibhorhood of Ashton Heights. This project was done with the participation and cooperation of the Ashton Heights Civic Association. The collection consists of a file for each house surveyed. The files contain a completed Virginia Division of Historic Landmarks Survey form, photographs of the houses from various angles, and other accompanying material such as reprints of advertisements or floor plans. The survey form recorded among other things the owner of the property, the historical significance, and an architectural description.
