Opened in January of
1939, the Petworth Library could be considered one of
the earliest successes of the Petworth neighbors to
shape their community. Beginning in 1927 several community
groups lobbied for a library in their neighborhood.
When it was completed, it was only the sixth to be built
in Washington DC.
