In the early 1700s, the land that makes up Huntington Terrace was part of two large tobacco plantations. In 1910 Huntington Terrace was platted as a subdivision with the original boundaries and street grids that still exist today. These boundaries are widely accepted as Greentree Road to the north (south side only), Old Georgetown Road to the east (west side only), Garfield Street to the west and Roosevelt Street to the south. Several of these streets serve as school boundaries. The great majority of Huntington Terrace residential area was laid out in 1910 in the same lots as now, except for a pocket of land in the center, a portion on which Suburban Hospital located in the early 1940s. Many houses built in the first decades of the 1900s are still standing today, particularly on Lincoln and Southwick Streets. In 1947 and 1948 the remaining portion of Huntington Terrace land was platted, bringing approximately 40 residential lots to the community, for a total of about 300 single family homes. Huntington Terrace plans to celebrate its Centennial in 2010.

Dues
As a Huntington Terrace resident, joining HTCA with your $20/per household annual dues payment is the official way to make your vote count on issues at quarterly community meetings. Unofficially, however, you are always welcome and encouraged to participate in these meetings. The HTCA Board also organizes and promotes annual family events which include the July 4th parade and games, Halloween festivities and the fall Block Party or Jazz Fest. We use funds to maintain the Triangle Community Garden at Roosevelt and Garfield Streets. And, this spring we’ll be organizing and advertising a Community Yard Sale. Finally, there’s the publication of the quarterly HTCA Newsletters that keep you in the loop.
That $20 annual dues is what pays for all of this. It’s a bargain, and it’s optional. But joining feels better; just ask someone who has! Checks payable to ‘HTCA’ may be mailed to HTCA Treasurer Howard Sokolove, 5600 Lincoln Street, or simply left in his mailbox.
