Old Town Alexandria, SE quadrant. Check out oldtownhome.com. It is a really fun blog if you are interested in historic homes.

Folks, Georgetown, Dupont, etc have TONS of Victorian-era homes. They are made of brick and stone and typically have shared walls.

Chevy Chase Village, Kensington, Cleveland Park, Chevy Chase DC.

Takoma Park -- gorgeous historic district. Many of the houses sell privately, though, b/c they are quite sought after and turn over very infrequently (think every 30-40 years).

Meg Finn does have one coming on line in late Spring or early Summer, on Maple. I think it is the oldest Victorian on the block (the yellow house w/ turret).

Historic (though not Victorians): Georgetown.

Historic looking: Chevy Chase MD

Closest thing to Victorians I've seen around this area (I live in DC so don't know much about the burbs): Cleveland Park. Seen some beautiful houses w/ the larger wraparound porches and a little victorian looking tower on some of the back streets of CP.

In MD, downtown Rockville has a number of old Victorian homes...Takoma Park also. There are pockets of Silver spring, Gaithersburg, even Olney with some older farmhouses and other styles of 1800-1900 homes.

I have been HGTV watching for a few days and these old Victorian homes with historical pasts are so interesting. What areas in MD, DC, VA would you find a historic home for sale?
