Taken: 1903
Caption: Tenleytown: A Seven Hilled Citadel of Health
Additional Description: An Effusive Washington Times write-up promoted Tenleytown, 1903.
“The spelling ‘Tenallytown,’ and various similar forms are used, but the best authority is in favor of ‘Tenleytown’ as this was the spelling of the original name, and the abbreviation to merely ‘Tenley’ is also advised by the Postoffice Department, though it is worthy of note that In the old village graveyard on the headstone of one Joseph Conrad born in Wurtemburg 1798 and dying here in 1864, the spelling Tenleytown is used.”
