The most controversial of the proposed developments was the planned construction of the North Central Freeway, which would have built an interstate highway though the city and dramatically changed its character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">That proposal, along with the demolition of a large number of Victorian-era homes in order to expand the Montgomery Community College campus and the plan for a large, commuter oriented Metro subway stop in the Takoma neighborhood of the District of Columbia resulted in a strong interest in historic preservation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">In response to these events, an application was made in 1972 to create the Takoma Park National Register Historic District, which was approved in 1976. The community learned, however, that National Register status did not, in and of itself, preserve endangered historic properties. As a result, in 1978 citizens began to meet to consider forming a nonprofit organization to advocate for historic preservation in Takoma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">Those meetings resulted in the creation Historic Takoma, Inc., a non-profit organization representing Takoma Park, Maryland and the Takoma area of the District of Columbia on January 16, 1979. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">Its goals were to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Educate the public about the value of historic preservation<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Work to save endangered historic structures<\/mark><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Support rehabilitation efforts of historic structures which were in decline.<\/mark><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">In the early 1980s it absorbed the archival collections and other assets of the Takoma Park Historical Society by mutual agreement and in 1993 the &#8220;Friends of the Thomas-Siegler Property&#8221; merged with Historic Takoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">More information about the work of Historic Takoma can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historictakoma.org\/documents\/HTIFactSheet1999.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">here<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#015039\"><strong>The Historic Takoma Building<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/historictakoma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7328-Carroll-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1790\" style=\"width:378px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/historictakoma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7328-Carroll-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/historictakoma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7328-Carroll-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/historictakoma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7328-Carroll-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/historictakoma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/7328-Carroll.jpeg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Historic Takoma Building at 7328 Carroll Avenue<\/span><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">On September 29, 2006, Historic Takoma took ownership of its headquarters at 7328 Carroll Avenue, in the heart of Takoma Junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color\">The Historic Takoma building was originally built in the 1930s as a Piggly Wiggly grocery store.
