Capitol View Park was Montgomery County's First Historic District.  This Old Historic Neighborhood is down by the Railroad Tracks and just past Forest Glen in the area of Silver Spring that borders Kensington, Maryland. 

In this quiet shaded glen, away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown, you will find an eclectic mix of house styles and ages, every thing from old "Sears" Bungalows, Restored 1880's Victorians, post WWII cape cods, colonials ramblers split levels and new recently built homes.

Capitol View residents can enjoy living in this "woodsy, quiet and almost rural area that is between the hustle, bustle and convenience of Downtown Silver Spring and at one end and the quaint charm of the small town of Kensington at the other end.

A quaint interesting is the the 1880s-era general store on Post Office Road next to the Forest Glen "Castle".

More information about Capitol View Park and it's history can be found through the Capitol View Park Citizens Association and the Capitol View Park Historical Society.

Finally, after years of being vacant, the quaint old Forest Glen Landmark has had quite the facelift and is getting a fresh start. The structure built in 1918 was Formerly the Forest Glen Country Store where they sold candy, treats, crafts, souveniers, nick naks and at one time had a small lunch cafe. 

The owners of the former popular Colorado Kitchen in DC have opened a charming, southern style casual restaurant complete with "down home" atmosphere.  I love how they have kept the same basic layout, architectural features and old hardwood floors.
