A New Walk Through Old Bethesda With Fred Berner on Sunday May 19 from 3:00 to 4:30 pm
This new free tour features some of the oldest homes in Bethesda, each with its own unique architecture and history. You’ll visit “Moreland” built in 1894. Present owners Teresa and Will McKinnon will tell you how they restored the house and listed it in the prestigious National Register of Historic Places – a very unique distinction in Bethesda.
Next stop will be at “Dulce” built in 1903 and perhaps the highest point in all of Bethesda. You’ll stop briefly outside of what may be the very oldest house in this area of Bethesda, a small tenant farmhouse built in the 1860s. Next is “The Brooke House,” a Beaux Arts mansion built in 1913 and Edgemoor’s first “Show House.” Last stop is “Dunrobin,” built in 1915 by Charles Robb, grandfather of “Chuck” Robb, the former Virginia senator and governor. In 1925, it was called one of the ten most beautiful homes in the Washington area.
