Prince George's proposes new historic designation list - washingtonpost.com

For the first time in almost two decades, Prince George's County is taking a comprehensive look at preserving its rich cultural heritage, looking to designate more than 130 properties as historic and offering dozens of recommendations for protecting such sites.

Included on the list is John Keiffer's 1830 Vermont farmhouse in Upper Marlboro, accented with handmade doors and double staircases....

He said he is working with the planning staff to make sure sites with African American significance are a part of the county's preservation efforts.

For too many years, the county has ignored African Americans' role in county history, Winston said.
