Historic Buildings in Hyattsville Get Revamped

Green Owl Design is revamping several more historic structures on the 4800 blocks of Rhode Island Avenue which were built from 1927 to 1932.
The Arts District-based design firm is working with the Menkiti Group to refresh a block of storefronts along Rhode Island Avenue near Streetcar 82 Brewing Co.
Co-founder Erica Riggio said they are refreshing the facades with a more modern material while keeping the Tudor design, adding a new roof and retaining wall and upgrading the interior.
After talking with area residents, Riggio said she hopes space will end up with some retail and a restaurant, bar, diner or other food-related business, especially if it’s locally owned.
“Our desire would be to make Hyattsville more of a destination,” she told the Hyattsville Wire. “There is a desperate need for more spots to go to for food and drink.”
Green Owl Design, a part of the SoHy Collective, previously updated a dentist’s office and other buildings at 5804 Baltimore Ave. and helped set up Polka Dot Park and the nearby Instagram-friendly murals.
