Created and produced by Peter Sefton and Amy Sefton, the "Raze Permit List" is intended as an informational aid to the historic preservation community and others interested in tracking changes in the cityscape. It is a photo-catalog of Washington, DC buildings for which "raze permit applications" have been filed or for which the DC Historic Preservation Office has received a "raze letter" for sign off.Although it contains a few earlier entries, this list essentially begins with the July 4, 2003 on-line DC Register. It primarily catalogs residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. It does not include sheds, residential garages, or utility structures such as switching stations or park buildings.
The list is based primarily on records produced by various DC Government agencies, and may contain errors or omit information. They suggest verifying all information with the authoritative source. For more information visit www.DemolitionDC.org. Or email Peter Sefton and/or Amy Sefton at psefton@comcast.net.

When clicked the above photo, taken by Elvert Barnes on Labor Day Sunday, 3 September 2006 which depicts the beginning stages of the demolition of the 1100 block of F Street, NW (north side) - will link to an ongoing photoset and historiographic project that will chronologize the redevelopment of the block in a similar way as does my 1101 New York Avenue project which began in the fall of 2004.
