History

It was designed by A.C. Miller in 1939; the Colonial Revival buildings were originally known as the Spring Valley Shopping Center.[2]

Original tenants included Esso, D.G.S. Market, Garfinckel's Department Store (Spring Valley Branch), and other retailers.

The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 7, 2003. Current tenants include Crate & Barrel,[3] Bank of America, Capital One Bank (formerly Chevy Chase Bank), Starbucks Coffee, and Le Pain Quotidien.

In 2015, Washington Real Estate Investment Trust announced development plans.[4]

If you wish to factor large numbers which do not have small factors (for example, numbers which are the product of two large primes), other methods are far better. Oh bee.
