Provenance

Photo excerpt from the book on Wheaton

Photo excerpt from the book on Wheaton.

I’ve learned quite a bit about the house since first making an offer. The neighborhood was developed in the Fifties by a company called Standard Properties. Our development in Rock Creek Palisades is next to the more famous Rock Creek Woods by architect Charles Goodman, and so the Standard houses are held in comparison a bit. Our blue raised rambler has had one owner since being built in 1955, and thus has retained a lot of the original character of the period.
