An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Belmont property was a subdivided strip of land on the eastern side of Chevy Chase, Maryland, along Wisconsin Avenue. In 1906, a group of African American investors acquired the parcel and sold lots to other African Americans, in an effort to develop a high-end suburb for D.C.'s sizable Black middle class. Had the project succeeded, it would have been one of the earliest modern suburbs developed for African Americans.

dbo:abstract
  • The Belmont property was a subdivided strip of land on the eastern side of Chevy Chase, Maryland, along Wisconsin Avenue. In 1906, a group of African American investors acquired the parcel and sold lots to other African Americans, in an effort to develop a high-end suburb for D.C.'s sizable Black middle class. Had the project succeeded, it would have been one of the earliest modern suburbs developed for African Americans. The scheme met hostility from white residents of Friendship Heights, Somerset, and Drummond. Ultimately, the landowner who had assembled the plot, the Chevy Chase Land Company, was able to prevent the African American group from conveying the land to their purchasers, triggering their financial collapse and foreclosure in 1909. In 1926, Land Company executives had the subdivision extinguished from the property books of Montgomery County, Maryland. They incorporated part of the land into Chevy Chase Section 1A. The remaining portion, immediately abutting Wisconsin Avenue was redeveloped decades later as a Saks Fifth Avenue, 2 Wisconsin Circle, and a shopping center called The Collection at Chevy Chase. (en)
