Book Sales: Fairlington at 50: May 1943- May 1993 – The 60 th Anniversary Edition
Authored by Fairlington’s resident historian, Catherine D. Fellows, this book was originally published by the Fairlington Citizens Association to mark the 50th anniversary of Fairlington in 1993. After being out of print for nearly 10 years, the Society took on the task of working with Ms. Fellows to republished the book in a special 60th anniversary edition with updates and an improved graphic presentation.
The book is a treasure of narrative and photographs from the 17th century to the present, describing the land, the building of Fairlington, life as a rental community, the conversion to condominiums, and many Fairlington landmarks. “Sometimes a place derives a special dimension, not only from the land but from the history that claimed and later changed it,” begins Catherine Fellows, and we agree.
