DC home of lesbian Furies Collective approved as DC historic landmark

By John Mack Freeman

By a unanimous vote of the DC Historic Preservation Review Board, the building that originally housed the Furies Collective in DC has been approved to be included as a historic landmark on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites. The row house was used in the 1970s as an early meeting ground for the group. This designation makes it the first lesbian-related historic landmark in DC. It has been submitted to the National Park Service for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. If it is approved, it would be the first lesbian-related historic place on the list.
