Woodley Park
reservation Office ashington, DC 20002 DC Historic P 801 North Capitol Street, NE Suite 3000 W 202-442-8800 WOODLEY PARKHISTORIC DISTRICT WASHINGTON D.C. 23 WOODLEY HISTORICPARK DISTRICT estled among such landmarks as the National NCathedral, Observatory Circle, and the National Zoo is the neighborhood of Woodley Park. This residential district with a central commercial corridor maintains a strong connection to its past and conveys a sense of history through its carefully planned streets, historic architecture, and open spaces. Initially on the rural edge of the young federal city, the area that became Woodley Park remained largely undeveloped until late in the 19th century. Today, however, rowhouses have replaced agricultural fields, country estates have given way to apartment buildings, and Connecticut Avenue— Woodley Park’s primary thoroughfare—is lined with Woodley Park in winter looking northwest busy restaurants and shops. over Connecticut Avenue bridge, 1908. Library of Congress Together, Woodley Park’s mix of former country estates, semi-detached houses, apartment buildings, and row- houses comprise a distinguishable entity that has merited recognition as a National Register Historic District. The Woodley Park Historic District is bounded roughly by Cathedral Avenue to the north and east, 29th Street to the west, and Woodley Road and Connecticut Avenue to the south and southwest. The district is significant for its varied architecture, featuring the work of notable archi- tects such as George Santmyers, Albert Beers, William Allard, and Mihran Mesrobian, and for its contribution to our understanding of development patterns in Washington, DC. 1 afforded a commanding view of the buildings under construction in the nascent capital, the port at Georgetown, and the expanse of the Potomac River. -
HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD Historic Landmark Case No
HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD Historic Landmark Case No. 17-10 Wardman Tower (Wardman Park Annex) and Arcade (Amendment) Wardman Tower Lobby (Interior) and Wardman Park Entrance Gates 2660 Woodley Road NW Square 2132 Lot 32; Part of Lot 850 (old Lot 25) Meeting Date: May 24, 2018 Applicant: Woodley Park Community Association Affected ANC: 3C This historic landmark application for Wardman Tower Lobby (Interior) and Wardman Park Entrance Gates is an amendment to the Wardman Tower (Wardman Park Annex) and Arcade, a Historic Landmark listed in the D.C. Inventory in 1979 and in the National Register in 1984. The already designated property includes the Wardman Tower which was constructed in 1928 as an annex to the Wardman Park Hotel, built in 1919 and no longer standing, and the Arcade, a one- story passageway also built in 1928 to connect the annex to the hotel to its west. This application proposes to amend the existing designation to include the interior lobby of Wardman Tower, and to expand the boundaries of the Historic Landmark to include the two pairs of entrance piers, built 1926, which historically flanked the semi-circular drive on Woodley Road leading to the entrance of the Wardman Park Hotel. The amended nomination of the Wardman Tower Historic Landmark for the inclusion of the lobby interiors meets D.C. Designation Criteria B and D (History and Architecture/Urbanism), and the expansion of the boundaries to include the Wardman Park Entrance Piers meets D.C. Designation Criterion D (Architecture and Urbanism). However, the application does not clearly delineate the specific limits of the interior designation of the lobby; it is therefore recommended that HPO, in conjunction with the applicants and owners, prepare a floor plan of the lobby to articulate where the lobby begins and ends as the arcade, room corridors and other spaces transition into and out of the lobby. -

H-DC. 10-08-2019. https://networks.h-net.org/node/28441/discussions/4971139/art-deco-society-washington-mihran-mesrobian-residence-chevy Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License. 1 H-DC When: Saturday, October 12th, 4:00 to 6:00 PM Among many notable area buildings, Mihran Mesrobian designed Sedgwick Gardens, the DuPont Circle Building, the Wardman Park Tower and the St. Regis and Hay-Adams Hotels. Mesrobian was an immensely talented architect who left an indelibly positive mark on his adopted home of Washington DC. This is an opportunity to experience the unique home he designed for himself and his family in the late 1930's. An ethnic Armenian, Mesrobian had a successful career in Ottoman Turkey before immigrating to the States with his family in the early 1920s . He quickly became the chief designer for prolific developer Harry Wardman, while also maintaining his own firm. The house at first glance blends in with the other traditionally-inspired homes of the area. Closer examination reveals interesting design features emblematic of Mesrobian's uniquely eclectic style, including his own interpretations of historical precedents as well as elegant Art Deco stylization. -

Courthouse Manor
Courthouse Manor Address: 1233 North Courthouse Road RPC #: 17017002 Current Owner(s): Courthouse Manor Associates P.O. Box 7139 Arlington, VA 22207 Building Date: 1940 Current Zoning: RA8-18 Existing Protections: None Current Development Pressure: None Historic Designations: None Significance Highlights: 1) One of two individual garden-apartment buildings in County designed by Mihran Mesrobian; 2) Although Mesrobian’s smallest garden-apartment project, it is his best example in Arlington of blending traditional and modern architectural styles. Significance Statement: Courthouse Manor is one of the earliest intact examples of the work of Mihran Mesrobian in Arlington County, and is one of only two individual garden-apartment buildings he designed in the County. It stands as the best example of his prolific skills with merging traditional- and modern-style designs into a garden-apartment building, which stands unified alongside Mesrobian’s Wakefield Manor garden-apartment complex (1943). Courthouse Manor is a small garden-apartment building set on the southeast corner of North Courthouse Road and 13th Street North. Like many of his buildings, Courthouse Manor marries Art Deco and Moderne styles together with traditional character-defining features of the Classical Revival style, which was more familiar to residents and promoted as the style of choice by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). This coupling was performed with great proficiency by renowned architect Mihran Mesrobian. The building, encompassing 16 apartment units originally, was built by F & W Construction Company, which also was listed as the owner of the property when it was built. 1 Born in Turkey to Armenian parents, Mesrobian was educated at the Academie des Beaux Arts in Istanbul.
