A Silver Spring Blogger recently wrote this article about the Polychrome Houses.  A Recent Article in the Washington Post  is about these houses - from Montgomery County The Historic Polychrome House District Article and from 2005 another Washington Post article .  Many people seem to be fascinated with these houses.

Popular House Styles are the Cozy Cape Cods, Storybook Tudors and Traditional Colonials built  before, during and just after WWII.  During the post war building boom years -  the 1950's and 60's brought newer mid century modern ramblers and split levels to complete the neighborhood.  There are approximately 1,100 Single Family Homes within the Neighborhood boundaries of South Four Corners.

Nest to Woodside, Woodmore is one of my favorite Silver Spring communities.  There are some jewels there.

Hi, Debbie - Thanks for dropping by my post to comment.  Am I dating myself to much to say "I remember playing that golf course with my grandfather, before there was a Beltway" - Great old neighborhood, and close-in plus close to the Beltway for an easy commute.
