Washington Revels’ Offices

Washington Revels' office space is located in the Ritchie Building, 531 Dale Drive, Silver Spring, MD -- 7/10ths of a mile from the Silver Spring Metro station. Scroll down for parking information.

The map below shows the location of the office (denoted by the red pin point on the map), as well as the proximity of the office to the Metro and the location of a number of Silver Spring restaurants and markets on the way.

Getting There by Bus

The office is easily accessible by the #15 Ride On bus from the Silver Spring Metro station (Red line). Get off the bus at the intersection of Wayne Avenue and Dale Drive and walk up the small hill on Dale, keeping the school buildings to your right. The Revels office is 2 very short blocks from Wayne, at the intersection of Dale and Dartmouth.

Parking Information

BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS UNLESS THE OPTIONS BELOW ARE UNAVAILABLE.

Parking is available in the office parking lot or the lots connected with the two schools located one block from the office. Each of these areas is noted by a colored pin point on the accompanying map. » Go to parking map (NOT MAP ABOVE)

Please read the information below concerning parking:

Revels Office Parking Lot

The Revels lot (blue marker) has 10 spaces, one of which is designated for handicapped parking. On Wednesdays between 4pm and 10:30pm, you should not park in the office lot unless you need to use the handicapped space; instead you should use the school lot one block away (see red and yellow markers on the map). On other days, you may use the Revels lot if there are spaces available.

School Lots (after 4pm weekdays and on weekends)

Just one block from the Revels building, at the intersection of Wayne Ave and Dale Drive, are two schools that share the old Montgomery Blair High School building. The nearer of the two schools (closest to Dale Drive) is Silver Spring International Middle School. It has 2 parking lots: an 86-space “upper” lot (yellow marker), which is closest to the Revels office; and a 44-space “lower” lot (green marker). Cars enter and exit both lots from Wayne Avenue.

Revels has permission from SSIMS to use both the upper and lower lots after 4pm on school days and on weekends, so long as there is not a conflicting function at the school. We will alert groups that are coming to the building if there are conflicts that will prohibit our use of the lots. On many afternoons and evenings the school uses some of the parking spaces in the upper lot, but there will be enough spaces for Revels visitors as well. For this reason, whenever you park in the upper lot, please park in the spaces nearest Dale Drive, i.e., furthest away from the school building. There is no similar restriction in the lower lot.

General Street Parking

If parking spaces are not available in the two school lots, you can see if parking is available on the streets surrounding 531 Dale Drive. However, check the parking signs carefully because availability is often restricted to specific hours during the school day. Please also be sensitive to the fact that neighborhood residents often need to use the streets for parking as well. For this reason, whenever possible you should park in the school lots rather than on streets in front of homes.
