ROCKVILLE MD, THE OLD AND THE NEW COMMUNITIES AND HOME STYLES
ROCKVILLE MD HISTORY and why we need to preserve it.
Important to many residents of towns with a long and strong history, county and town planners will do well to preserve the old as well as manage the new. Towns in Montgomery County would quickly lose much of their charm and vitality if the priceless Victorian homes, the historical train stations, the popular shops located in the original areas of town were replaced with just new construction.
Local towns in Maryland and Northern Virginia almost always preserve the MARC Train Stations. These stations are along the original rail road lines upon which many of our most important towns were founded. Commerce thrived along these rail ways just as they now thrive in close proximity to International airports.
TYPICAL MARC STATION CONTEMPORARY TRAVEL, SLEEK AND DRAMATIC
Rockville, the town, dates back to about 1780. The early structures included a few homes, a tavern, a courthouse and a jail. All vital contributions for the orderly growth of an important town built along the rail road bringing food, feed, lumber, citizens to and from Rockville to other towns along the rail line.
The rail line in Rockville today is busy with the MARC Train and METRO.
UNLIKE CONTEMPORARY TRANSPORTATION LINES, HOUSING DEVELOPERS LOVE TO PRESERVE THE “LOOK” of historic architecture. The classic Victorian was popular in the 1800s and is popular today.
The classic Victorian Homes are still popular after more than 100 or 200 years of successive families.
