West Montgomery Avenue Historic District

The West Montgomery Avenue Historic District is a national historic district located at Rockville, Montgomery County, Maryland. It is a residential area with single-family homes predominating. The majority of the properties within the district date from the 1880s, with a few older homes and somewhat more from later periods. The predominant character of the district is set by the rows of Victorian houses built between 1880 and 1900 in a vernacular residential mode with Eastlake and Stick Style influences. Also included in the district are attorneys' offices; churches and parsonages; a funeral home; the former Woodlawn Hotel, later called the Chestnut Lodge Sanitarium (destroyed by fire, June 7, 2009); and the headquarters of the Montgomery County Historical Society.[2]

gollark: <@!330678593904443393> You would pass it 6 register indices.
gollark: 32 registers would probably allow room for more fun stuff, like the program metacounter register.
gollark: Unless I decide to upgrade to 32 registers, in which case it would only allow 5 max.
gollark: Very late, but PotatoASM can probably handle syscalls of up to 6 parameters, which is surely enough for ANY possible usecase, through passing a bunch of register indices as operands to the `SYSC` instruction.
gollark: It's annoying that my internet connection is so bad right now.
