For the first time, the annual AHS members meeting was held as a hybrid meeting both virtually (via Zoom) and in-person at the Reinsch Library Auditorium on the Main Campus of Marymount University. For the past two years, AHS members met entirely online but this year AHS used both fora. Attendees were about half virtual and half-in-person.
After the meeting, Charlie Clark discussed “Lost Arlington County” highlighting long lost homes, businesses, and entertainment venues. He also discussed different types of preservation, the challenges of preservation today, and the preservation effort AHS launched earlier this year to raise awareness and educate homeowners, builders, and realtors.
