Hannah Woolley is often called the Martha Stewart of the 17th century, but a more apt comparison might be wellness guru Gwyneth Paltrow, founder of the lifestyle brand Goop. That’s because Woolley, author of the first books on household management and cookery published in English, didn’t just provide recipes for eel pie and hot chocolate wine alongside tips on seasonally decorating your mantel with mosses and mushrooms. She also offered up recipes for cosmetics, shampoos and medicines even a guide to performing minor surgery. To treat sore throats, she recommended a syrup of violets. To reduce smallpox scarring, a lemon and sea salt wash. For breast cancer, an ointment of goose dung and juice of the celandine flower, a member of the poppy family.

The Board first considered Colony Hill’s application at their January 28 meeting, starting with presentations from the applicants and HPO staff making the case in favor. That case was oriented around three of the District’s legal criteria for registration.
DC Criterion B: History - The bulk of the application makes the case that the neighborhood deserves designation because it represents the national and local trend of developers building more car-oriented, suburban communities in the 1930s.
DC Criterion D: Architecture and Urbanism - The application also describes the properties in the neighborhood as good examples of the popular Colonial Revivalism style that were accompanied by well-considered landscaping to create a picturesque suburban aesthetic.
