Residents have long fought to preserve the historic neighborhood's integrity — and to ensure those who left will be able to return, as promised.
“The Barry Farm community is a significant part of D.C. history, so we must continue to tell the story and preserve the history and take care of our longtime residents,” Bowser said Monday. “Over the years and throughout this development, that’s exactly what we’ve done.”as the redevelopment project took shape. Even before she moved to Northwest D.C. three years ago, she and her neighbors also did not feel confident about the city’s assurances that they could return.
On Saturday, Matthews was among a group of about three dozen advocates and former residents who spent the afternoon commemorating Barry Farm’s past, including now-razed sites where former landmarks once stood — and construction will soon begin. Matthews and others have said they’d like Barry Farm’s new buildings to be developed concurrently, rather than piecemeal, so more former residents can take advantage and potentially reunite with their neighbors.
On Saturday, Matthews and advocates with the D.C. Legacy Project and Empower D.C. came to the razed land that once contained a portion of the Barry Farm dwellings, to reflect on the past. Among them was Sarah Shoenfeld, who wrote the nomination for the Tenants and Allies Association that would go on to preserve five of the community’s buildings as historic landmarks.
