"Delights to the Eye"
A 112-year old guide book to the nation's capital highlights "beautiful" "Silver Springs."
"Takoma and Takoma Park, Silver Springs (sic) and Forest Glen are all picturesque and beautiful villages lying along or within the boundaries of Maryland. They are reached by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, as well as by the trolley.
During the summer season many of the people of Washington take up their residences there, where they live in the midst of nature and at the same time of civilization. Glimpses of rural scenery in these neighborhoods are a constant delight to the eye."
From "Every-day Life in Washington...with Pen and Camera" by Charles M. Pepper (New York: The Christian Herald, 1900).
