The Week Ahead…& Photos from SE Library (Opening this Week*)

*See Capitol Hill Corner Would Also Like You to Know About (below).

Perhaps the main beneficiaries of the renovation of  SE Library will be the community’s children.  Here’s a view as one descends to the lower level largely dedicated to children.

Here’s another angle. Pictured is Julia Strusienski, branch manager for the Southeast Library.

Here’s the view looking up through the skylight which runs the length of the children’s area on the south side of the library.

And a view from the lower level looking up through the light well in the center of the library.

And a view looking down the light well from the main floor.

Last week’s storm wreaked havoc with the tree canopy.  This giant near the front of the iconic Capitol Hill Seventh-day Adventist Church at 10th and Mass NE was one of its victims. 

The Week Ahead…

400 Seward Square SE. Application for an Area Variance for internal construction only.  Applicant is an apartment building owner.  They propose to convert excess maintenance space into 2 additional units.  This ANC supported and the BZA granted the exact same application in 2020, but the building owner did not go ahead with the project at that time, so the permit expired.  There are only 2 close buildings; the owners of both neighboring buildings have verbally offered their support, and will get it in writing soon.  After BZA approval, it would take ~1 month it would go to the full DOB permit process and  ~ 6 months to get that permit, and then, ~ 6-8 months for construction.  This building is under a possible Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) process (that is, the tenants might buy the building.)

The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

The new fence and screening on the East Plaza of the US Capitol is related to work on the façade. 

The construction fence is up around Shirley Chisholm Elementary School at 1001 G Street, SE.  Construction is scheduled to start this summer.  Completion is projected for July of 2028.  Here’s a link to schematics showing the scope of the project.  https://bit.ly/4zFrJv7

The re-opening date for Folger Park has been extended to October 3, 2026 at 11:59pm, according to the sign on the fence surrounding Folger Park.  The extension will allow work to continue to correct issues with the park’s sidewalks which initially failed city inspection. 

Tuesday night, ANC6B’s Executive Committee, approved a stipulated liquor license for the Folger Library to serve alcohol at a summer garden at the East Capitol and Third Street entrance.  The license will allow the Library to serve alcohol here to align with the opening of Measure for Measure on September 25. 

The last performance of Friday’s Dog Days of August Live Jazz at Eastern Market featured vocalist Gracie Jay.  https://graciejaymusic.com/about

The Capitol Hill Theatre at 645 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, was destroyed by fire in 1970.  Here’s a photo from 1964.  The venue opened in 1910 as the Avenue Grand Theatre.  It served as a popular neighborhood hub for vaudeville performances and movies before being renamed the Capitol Hill Theatre in 1956.  Following the fire, a commercial building was constructed on the site.  It is currently home to Labyrinth Games & Puzzles, East City Bookstore, and Capitol Frame and Photo.  Image from DC History Center’s Emil A. Press Slide Collection.   Photo find:  Steve Morris.

Scam Alert –“Invitation Email” Scam Circulating in Capitol Hill Community

Scam Alert –“Invitation Email” Scam Circulating in Capitol Hill Community

by Larry Janezich

Posted August 27, 2026

Today, a Lincoln Park neighbor’s email was hacked and a “Special Invitation” phishing email was sent to a number of the neighbor’s contacts. 

Replying to the email to inquire as to its authenticity produced a response assuring that the invitation was legit – despite its fraudulence.

Inquiries as to the authenticity of such an invitation should be by text or phone call. 

The FTC has a Consumer Alert regarding deceptive online event invitations.   Google FTC Consumer Alert invitation scam or search the topic elsewhere for more info.

Community Turns Out to Comment on New RFK Transit Plan

Community Turns Out to Comment on New RFK Transit Plan

By Larry Janezich

Posted Tuesday, August 25, 2026

Tuesday night. WMATA held an open house at St. Coletta’s on proposed transit improvements for the RFK Campus.  The meeting was the first of a series of meetings to be scheduled through the fall to provide an opportunity for the community to provide feedback on the proposed plans.

Councilmembers Charles Allen and Wendell Felder. 

Allen said that “2030 is only 48 months away – opening day is only 48 months away… we have to move boldly but I know, for myself, I want to make sure it’s not just transit first in rhetoric but in results… I hope that tonight’s conversation is one where you’re able to give your feedback to us – whether it’s the Commandersor WAMATA or  DDOT or Director Hanlon (DPW) – make sure you tell us what you like and don’t like – what your expectations are.  That is going to be a big part of this.”

Some 150 residents turned out for the meeting.

DC and WMATA have agreed to a plan for a $300 million expansion of the Stadium-Armory station and the Gold Line rapid transit bus line that would run from Union Station to Stadium-Armory.  Cost estimates of $1 billion to replace the station are prohibitive and would not be finished by 2030. 

The plan anticipates construction on the Metro expansion phase will begin in 2028.
