The Capitol Hill Restoration Society (CHRS) is the oldest and largest civic organization on Capitol Hill, founded in 1955 to protect the historic fabric of the neighborhood. Representing about a thousand members, CHRS plays a key role in maintaining the integrity, history, and appeal of the diverse community that has thrived for over 200 years.
Through efforts in planning, zoning, traffic management, and public safety, CHRS champions the interests of residential Capitol Hill to preserve its historic character and enhance its livability. The society's dedication to the neighborhood led to Capitol Hill winning designation as a historic district in 1976, solidifying its position as a prominent advocate for the preservation of architectural and residential heritage.
