              <text>Created in 1987 to promote the preservation of one of Washington's most elegant turn-of-the-century residences, the Townsend Mansion, and the surrounding historic Dupont Circle-Massachusetts Avenue area, the Cosmos Club Historic Preservation Foundation has funded major structural repairs of the Townsend Mansion and restoration of exterior features of the house and garden in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s standards. It restored the original wrought and cast iron fence which bounds the property and returned the magnificent Italian fountain in the East Garden to full working order, using conservation measures to preserve the bronze and marble components. The Cosmos Club Historic Preservation Foundation has also undertaken to collect and preserve architectural information on the Townsend Mansion and to inventory its original architectural features. It commissioned an Historic Structures Report to document the construction history of the building and to identify its architecturally and artistically significant elements in order to have a reference point for planning future restoration and preservation projects. Mindful of the loss to history of the mansion's original architectural drawings, the Foundation has established an archival collection of all available documents and drawings from the construction and remodeling projects undertaken by the Cosmos Club during its almost fifty years of ownership.</text>

              <text>The Washingtoniana Collection was established in 1905 when Library Director, Dr. George F. Bowerman, had the foresight to start collecting books and articles about the local community. Washingtoniana houses an array of resources and materials from the late 18th century to the present, with a primary focus on the local city. In addition to the books, census, directories, newspapers and periodicals, postcards, real estate assessments, and maps, Washingtoniana also includes Prints &amp;amp; Photographs, the DC Community Archives, and the Peabody Room for Georgetown neighborhood history.</text>

Subsequent Zoning Ordinance amendments established Historic Overlay Districts that provide regulations over and above the regular zoning protection for such areas. To administer the provisions, the County created a local Architectural Review Board (ARB). The ARB is responsible for the public interest(s) as embodied in the Historic Overlay District Ordinance. Its job is to protect and enhance the resources that give a district its historic, architectural, or archaeological significance. planning reports prepared for the Bull Run Stone Bridge, Centreville, Huntly, Lake Anne Village Center, Langley Fork, and Mount Air Historic Overlay Districts.</text>
