Specifically, the evaluation focuses on whether the proposed design meets the test of compatibility with its historic environs. EHT Traceries based its evaluation of the plans on the design principles included in the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, prepared by the D.C. Historic Preservation Office (HPO) and adopted by the Historic Preservation Review Board. The HPO publication “New Construction in Historic Districts” identifies twelve (12) design principles to be considered when evaluating the compatibility of new buildings planned within existing historic districts. These design principles are: setback, height, orientation, materials, scale, color, proportion, roof shape, rhythm, details and ornamentation, massing, and landscape features. Also considered is the compatibility of the design with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. Embassy of Australia EHT Traceries August, 2017 Page | 4 EXISTING EMBASSY OF AUSTRALIA Location The existing Embassy of Australia at 1601 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. is located in Square 181, Lot 162 (Figure 1). The 0.7-acre lot is bound by Massachusetts Avenue and Scott Circle on the south and Sixteenth Street on the east. A public alley separates the building from the Embassy of Philippines on the west. Figure 1. Map showing the location of the Chancery of Australia (D.C. Atlas) General Description Completed in 1969, the Embassy is a seven- story Tennessee marble-clad, concrete, glass, and steel office building (Figure 2). The building is rectangular in plan. An extension, which matched the original, was added to the northern half of the site in 1977. The building features a flat roof with a mechanical penthouse setback from the building line, which has no parapet, and an underground parking facility. Both the main pedestrian entrance and the entrance to the parking level are located in the south (Massachusetts Avenue) elevation. In addition, a small landscaped plaza featuring concrete planters is located between the building and the Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk. Architecturally, the Embassy Figure 2. Aerial image of the current chancery (Google) is characteristic of the latter phase of the International Style. Embassy of Australia EHT Traceries August, 2017 Page | 5 Site History The initial development of the site dates to the late nineteenth century. In 1881, U. S. Treasury Secretary William Windom constructed a three-story brick dwelling on the property, the legal description of which was Lot 141 within John P. Olmstead’s Subdivision of Lots within Square 181 (Figure 3).1 Windom’s residence is depicted on Hopkins’ 1887 map (Figure 4). This residence is later depicted on the 1959 Sanborn map, at which time it was owned by the “Catholic Daughters of America” (Figure 5). Figure 3.

Pursuant to the Act, such changes in the disposition of real property are subject to review by the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA). Foreign Mission cases are heard before the Foreign Mission Board of Zoning Adjustment (FMBZA), which is composed of the members of the BZA with the Executive Director of the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC).6 Furthermore, Section d (Criteria for Determination) of the Foreign Missions Act of 1982, Item 2 (Historic Preservation) states that: Historic preservation, as determined by the Board of Zoning Adjustment in carrying out this section; and in order to ensure compatibility with historic landmarks and districts, substantial compliance with District of Columbia and Federal regulations governing historic preservation shall be required with respect to new construction and to demolition of or alteration to historic landmarks.7 Compatibility with D.C. and Federal Regulations Permit applications for new construction in the District of Columbia, including foreign embassies and chanceries, must be reviewed in accordance with both D.C. and federal historic preservation regulations and guidelines. The Historic Landmark and Historic District Protection Act of 1978 (D.C. Law 2-144, as amended), Section 8 (New Construction) requires that the Mayor review all permits for proposed new construction in D.C. historic districts. Prior to making a finding on the permit application, the Mayor may refer the application to the Historic Preservation Review Board for recommendation, but must make the finding within 120 days of such referral. Following this review, the permit will be issued unless the Mayor finds that

  • ~ 1 ~ the EMBASSY PRESENCE in WASHINGTON, D.C. Priscilla R. Linn
    Living in Washington, D.C. Embassies photo THE EMBASSY PRESENCE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Priscilla R. Linn May 29, 2014 Finding embassies on a map of Washington, D.C. is a relatively straightforward task. They lie in northwest quadrant of one of the smallest capitals in the world, often lining up along (or close to) the avenues that city planner Pierre L’Enfant drew up over 200 years ago. Other locations in Washington, D.C. could, in principle, welcome many foreign missions. Reasons for the concentration of embassies in Washington hinge on the need to be close to the White House, U.S. Department of State, Congress, and international organizations. Embassies also desire a location in a prestigious neighborhood that can enhance both national identity and standing among nations in the international community. Essential diplomatic terms Since diplomacy often requires a specific vocabulary, this essay will clarify the meaning of several words used here. The Diplomat’s Dictionary defines the word “embassy” as: “The residence of an ambassador.” The Dictionary states that in loose, contemporary usage, the word “embassy” also refers to the office building of the ambassador and his senior staff. For clarity, this essay follows the “loose contemporary usage” for “embassy,” and does not ~ 1 ~ Map from National Area Planning Commission report, Foreign Missions and International Organizations in Washington, D.C. http://www.ncpc.gov/DocumentDepot/Publications/ForeignMissions/Foreign_Missions_Overview.pdf (accessed May 15, 2014) ~ 2 ~ include ambassadors’ residences in the discussion. An embassy also encompasses the diplomatic corps that conducts foreign affairs from the embassy building. People refer to the embassy office building as a “chancery,” where an ambassador and his principal staff conduct diplomatic business.

  • Running Routes from Yates
    Running & Hiking Routes Out of Yates (plus a few bonus routes) Many of the following routes are a kilometer one side or the other of 10K, but many can also be shortened or extended as you desire. I welcome your questions and clarifications: [email protected] (Tom Sherman, 7-7044) The convention in DC is that walkers, runners and cyclists stay to the right on paths and trails, passing on the left; make your life easier and stay to the right. Another convention in DC is for motorists to run you over, so please run with caution, without headphones, and never run in front of a driver that you have not make eye contact with. If passing someone closely on the left, especially someone elderly, it is good form to announce “on your left” even as a runner. Do not feel required to run out of the Yates Field House, for many of the runs described below may proceed through your neighborhood, in which case, join the route from there. Another great strategy is to use GUTS bus routes and Metro to take you to a destination from which you can run home. This is a great way to learn the city and to see areas otherwise too far to run through as a loop. Many additional DC trails are detailed on the DC area trail map that can be downloaded here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/706401/Rock%20Creek%20Park%20Map.pdf Exits and Entrances to Yates To condense the route descriptions in the following pages, I will refer to the various exits and entrances to the Georgetown campus as displayed below: A: Medical Center Entrance 4 exit and entrance – turn right immediately out of Yates, circling behind Yates and following the path/road out of Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) entrance 4.
