Each year the DowntownDC Business Improvement District (BID) recognizes individuals and organizations that have contributed to “making Washington, D.C. a world-class destination.” This year the Historical Society, Apple, and EventsDC received the BID’s 2019 Private/Public Partnership Momentum Award for the restoration and revitalization of the Carnegie Library. Eileen Andary, Interim Admin Director and Julie Koczela, Chair,  Board of Trustees, accepted the award for the Historical Society.

After receiving the trophy, Koczela noted,“This award was the culmination of three years of extraordinary effort by all partners, staff, and volunteers, to bring the Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square back to its historical role as a center for culture and learning. Thanks to the restoration, the Historical Society is realizing its dream of being a hub for history in the community.”
