About Ghosts of DC

Ghosts of DC is a blog about the history of Washington, D.C. and its surroundings. We live in a great city, and it's important for everyone to know a little more about their communities, neighborhoods and city.

    Great picture. Chevy Chase ‘Ice Palace’ was at the strip mall on Connecticut near Van Ness Metro. DC’s only indoor ice skating rink from 1938-1950 before WMAL took over the site with its TV studios.

    My mom and dad grew up in the neighborhood – they said that in their teens the place in your photo was a roller rink as well. In the mid-60′s if you lived in the neighborhood and wanted to go ice skating, the Woodley Park Hotel on Connecticut Ave. just a block uptown from Calvert Street had an ice rink as well – we lived up at Connecticut & Tilden and my sister skated there a lot. I believe actually that it was called The Sheraton-Park Hotel at that time.
