[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last time the Cleveland Park Historical Society opposed something outside of its borders, it caused majpr upheaval to the Board and organization. I hear the same thing is happening this time.  Many are VERY upset that CPHS did this without input from its membership.[/quote]

Funny.  I've been a CPHS member for 15 years and I haven't heard this at all.

Hearst Park borders the Cleveland Park Historic District on two sides.  Hearst Park also lies within what is generally considered the boundaries of Cleveland Park (see for example, CP Citizens Association borders).  While the Architectural Review Committee directly passes on the design of projects within the historic district itself, CPCA has a broader mission, to "promote interest in the history of Cleveland Park and to encourage preservation of its architectural heritage and character as a friendly residential neighborhood with a strong sense of community."  Preservation of a park, including its green space character, which is heavily used by the Cleveland Park neighborhood, would seem to be within this mission.[/quote]
