Tales Of Old Brightwood
By John CIoqett Proctor

A few years ago. when Mrs.
Annie C. Osborn was still living
and residing in her delightful
home in Brightwood. the writer
called upon her to obtain first
hand information about this part
of North Washington. No one then
living was able to give more ac-
curate information about this
part of the District of Columbia.
According to her version. the
name Crystal Spring was gener-
ally applied to this locality and
then came the name Brighton.
Soon after receiving this name,
post office was established at the
northwest corner Of Georgia ave-
nue. and Piney Branch road. in the
country store conducted by the
late A. G.. Osborn.
Soon after the selecting Of the
name Brighton. and the establish
ing of the post office, an unfore-
seen complication arose. There
happened to be another post office
in the northern part Of Mont
gomery County, Md, named
Brighton, and the mail intended
for these two places was often
mixed.
How 1t Became Brightwood
The post office corner had pre-
viously been owned by Mrs. Abigail
Shoemaker, mother of the late
Louis P. Shoemaker, who had let
the place to L. Brunett as a road
house. After giving up the busi-
ness, Brunett continued to live in
the neighborhood. He suggested
leaving off the suffix ION" or
ton" and substituting in its place
the wood" which SO met with
general favor that since that day
Brightwood has been the name Of
this uncertain area.
Prior to the Civil War roads
and thoroughfares leading to and
from BrightWood were few and
far between. The Seventh street
turnpike, now Georgia avenue.
was one of the early roads of
Washington, and like all early

impossible. Fortunately for the
people of Brightwood, they had
a very influential and important
neighbor-Francis Preston Blair
whose home was at Silver Spring
When Montgomery Blair, the son.
came into prominence his support
in securing improvements was also
generally to be had. In this con-
nection it was no doubt due to
the elder Blair's efforts that a
plank road was laid on the Sew
enth street turnpike in 1852.
These so-called planks, it is
said. were trees split in halves,
with the rounded side down.
They were laid from Boundary
street, now Florida avenue, all the
way to the District line, and at
the time it was said that it was
expected to continue this type of
road to Silver Spring, where the
