Title
A Resolution concerning The Kleiner-Davidson White House for the purpose of designating the Kleiner-Davidson White House as a Prince George’s County Historic Site
Background
Section 29-120.01 of the Prince George’s County Code provides a process whereby the owner of an historic property may file a petition for designation as an historic site with the Prince George’s County Historic Preservation Commission (“HPC”). After a duly advertised public hearing, the HPC issued its recommendation to the Planning Board, who in turn held a joint public hearing with the District Council on the application on July 14, 2009. The Planning Board voted unanimously on July 16, 2009, to approve a letter recommending that the Kleiner-Davidson White House in Berwyn Heights, Maryland, an important example of Craftsman style architecture from the 1920s and 1930s, be designated as an historic site. Section 29-120.01 further provides that final approval rests with the District Council.
