Barrett Morton Linde "Barry"  
Passed away June 23, 2021 in Miami, Florida. Barry was born on January 7, 1935 in Baltimore, Maryland to Dr. S. Arthur Linde and Mrs. Jeanette Rosenberg Linde. The family moved to Washington, DC when he was a young child. He attended Gordon Junior High, Wilson Senior High, and ultimately graduated from The Bullis School. He then went on to Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. Barry enjoyed playing tennis, traveling around the world, and collecting art. Barry was a 4th generation Washingtonian and a historic family member of the Adas Israel Congregation. He was a loving father and devoted grandfather. He is survived by his children, Arthur, Jocelyn and Stacia Linde; and his grandchildren, Alexander, Jack, and Naish Linde, and Luke and Sydney Colella. Barry began building townhomes in the Capital Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC in the late 1950s. Over the course of his career, he completed more than 30 projects and some 400 dwelling units. He was a prominent force in the redevelopment of the Capital Hill, Dupont Circle, and Adams Morgan neighborhoods. During the peak of his development efforts, his unique style of two-unit townhomes became known as "The Linde". He is interred at the original Adas Israel Cemetery.
