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 wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\">The Historic Takoma building was originally built in the 1930s as a Piggly Wiggly grocery store.

Many Takoma Park residents still remember shopping for nuts at the Barcelona nuts facility until the mid-1990s. Since then, the building was intermittently rented, but mostly vacant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Historic Takoma renovated the building to include exhibit, office, research, and meeting space, as well as storage facilities for archival materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-b115fc2d-a899-43de-989b-e6fbb8c2f07e\" href=\"http:\/\/historictakoma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/TPNewsletter201305-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>Learn more about the building.<\/strong><\/mark><\/a><\/div>\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>Membership<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Membership is open to the general public.
