1 5. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Summary Description: Constructed in 1943, Cambridge Courts is located at 2401 – 2813 Arlington Boulevard in Arlington County, Virginia (App. 3, Fig. 3-6). The Colonial (Georgian) Revival-styled garden apartment complex is a contributing resource to the Lyon Park National Register Historic District. The property abuts the north side of Arlington Boulevard (US Route 50) west of its intersection with Washington Boulevard and at its intersection with North Fillmore Street (App. 1). The garden apartment complex is comprised of twenty multiple-family buildings that feature similar architectural elements, but are slightly different in design and layout (App. 4, Fig. 1-3). The two to three-story buildings are primarily arranged in a modified U-shaped configuration in a park-like setting, thus conforming to the typical garden apartment form and layout common in Arlington County and throughout the United States in the mid-twentieth century. Between 1984 and 1986, Cambridge Courts was converted to condominium units in four phases. There is currently a total of 159 condominium units.

Architectural Description:

Site Description: Cambridge Courts is sited on 6.7 acres of land that generally slopes downward from the northwest to southeast. The property is bounded as follows: to the north by Fillmore Park and Long Branch Elementary School; to the south by Arlington Boulevard; to the east by Fillmore Park; and to the west by North Fillmore Street (App. 1). The northern boundary of the property is delineated by a wood picket fence and a stone wall.

The majority of the original circulation network is intact (App. 2, Fig. 5 and 7). Vehicular access to the garden apartment complex is limited to a private drive accessed from Arlington Boulevard and North Fillmore Street. The drive bisects the eastern end of the property and runs parallel to its northern edge; this has served as the primary entrance/egress point and parking area since the complex’s completion in 1943 (App. 4, Fig. 19). As part of the conversion to condominiums in the mid-1980s, a section of the landscaped lawn on the southern end of the property was converted to a parking lot that is accessed directly from Arlington Boulevard (App. 4, Fig. 36). From the parking areas, private drive, and streets, the courtyards are accessed by concrete paths highlighted with eight single or double-arched brick hyphens/openings that give a sense of formality to the circulation network (App. 4, Fig. 11 and 20).

Landscaping on the site consists of trees, shrubs, and open lawns (App. 4, Fig. 7 and 22). Two original brick garden walls further distinguish two courtyards and define the complex’s picnic areas (App. 4, Fig. 45). Contemporary black metal lighting poles are interspersed throughout the property. A monument-styled sign is located near the center of the complex along Arlington Boulevard (App. 4, Fig. 21).

General Building Description/Analysis: Cambridge Courts consists of twenty, two to three-story apartment buildings. The Colonial (Georgian) Revival-styled brick buildings have simple rectangular massing, windows and doors in strict symmetry, multi-light double-hung vinyl-sash windows (replaced at an unknown date), and centrally-located front doors with decorative

2 surrounds. The roof forms consist of asphalt-shingle side-gabled and hipped roofs. All of these aspects are characteristic of the strict formality of the Colonial (Georgian) Revival architectural style.

In general, the buildings’ seven-course American bond brick-veneered cinder block walls rest on solid concrete foundations. The fenestration primarily consists of: original, single-leaf, nine-light, paneled wood doors; one-over-one, double-hung, vinyl-sash replacement windows with six-over- six simulated divided lights; and a limited number of one-over-one, double-hung, vinyl-sash replacement windows with four-over-four simulated divided lights. The main entry doors have Colonial Revival hooded entryways and surrounds. The projection of a decorative crown to form a small roof over the entryway was found in Georgian architecture during the Colonial-era. The basement and first story windows have simple brick sills and segmental arched brick lintels. The upper story windows have brick sills, but the top of the window frames abut the buildings’ molded wood cornices.1 The masonry walls support asphalt-shingled side-gable or hipped roofs with molded wood cornices.2 Ornamental brick stack chimneys, paired double-end chimneys, and corbeled brick chimneys pierce a number of the roof lines. There are three original, large, free standing tiered brick chimney stacks that served as exhaust for defunct boilers (App. 3, Fig. 46).

Cambridge Courts consists of five building types that are situated in three clusters. Clusters A and B are nearly mirror reflections in regards to number of buildings, design, and entryways. These two clusters consist of two U-shaped building footprints with anchor buildings paralleling Arlington Boulevard. Cluster C distinguishes itself from the rest of the complex due to the number of buildings, dimensions of the buildings, and its unique orientation of a single building facing the intersection of Arlington and Washington boulevards (App. 4, Fig. 1-3).

The U-shaped building footprint with an anchor building successfully separated the interior courtyards from the public rights-of-way. While the placement and design of the anchor buildings recognize the paramount relationship between the complex and Arlington Boulevard, the rest of the design draws inward and separates the complex from the surrounding built environment (App. 4, Fig. 33). The buildings and landscape elements both conceal aspects of the community and celebrate the tranquility of the open spaces. The formal interior courtyards further were obscured from the private drive and parking on the northern side of the property by a series of arched brick entryways (App. 4, Fig. 11 and 27).3 This successfully created more pleasing views within the courtyard and hid the utilitarian parking.

Building Type One and Building Type Four (App. 4, Fig. 2)

For the purpose of this report, there are five different building types that will be described and evaluated.

1 This will serve as reference for the typical window form throughout the document. 2 The gable-roof buildings’ cornices feature returns. 3 The brick arched entryways are located on the northeastern and northwestern corners of each cluster.

3 Corning & Moore, the architects of the apartments, designed Building Types One and Four to serve as the public front of the complex. Four of the buildings face Arlington Boulevard and one building is uniquely oriented towards the intersection of Arlington and Washington boulevards (App. 4, Fig. 1-3).4 The design of both building types responded to the heavily-traveled Arlington Boulevard that provided convenient access to Fort Myer and Washington, D.C. The placement of the more elaborately designed Building Type One at the eastern and western ends of the complex immediately captures the attention of motorists traveling on the thoroughfare. The use of a central, slightly projecting Greek Revival-influenced pediment, engaged brick pilasters, and paired double- end chimneys established a sense of grandeur. In the Colonial era, paired double-end chimneys were limited to high-style examples of Georgian-styled dwellings. Corning & Moore successfully utilized this element to elevate the design and further establish the use of Colonial (Georgian) Revival architectural elements at the site. On the other hand, the architects likely simplified the center two buildings (Building Type Four) facing Arlington Boulevard as these were secondary in terms of visibility. While the slightly projecting pediment is continued, recessed brick spandrel panels (below the first story windows) are used to add depth to the facade instead of the full-height brick pilasters as seen on Building Type One. Also omitted from Building Type Four are the paired double-end chimneys.

Detailed Description, Building Type One (App 4, Fig. 5-6, 37, 39-40, and 43-44)

Three of the twenty buildings represent Building Type One. Two of the buildings front Arlington Boulevard and the third building is uniquely oriented towards the intersection of Arlington and Washington boulevards. Each building has a single-leaf central entrance door that provides access to a stair hall shared by four condominium units.

The symmetrically designed two-story, nine-bay, side-gable buildings have prominent center gable pediments and corbeled gable-end paired chimneys. The pediments’ engaged full-height brick pilasters recall the form of a more stylized Greek Revival portico. On the first story, a centrally located single-leaf door is embellished with a shallow elliptical pedimented wood surround. The first-story windows all have recessed brick spandrel panels that create a sense of depth in tandem with the pilasters. The second-story windows continue the typical window form and the parged pediment consists of a single, central fanlight.

The side elevations are primarily distinguished by means of either an exterior corbeled brick chimney or paired corbeled brick chimneys. The paired chimneys are connected by a parapet wall pierced by a circular six-light wood window (App 4, Fig. 39-40). Other ornamentation includes the use of replacement synthetic shutters on elevations facing the interior courtyards.

4 The completion of Arlington Boulevard in 1935 played a critical role in the development of Cambridge Courts. In Arlington County, US Route 50 ended near Fort Myer in 1935. The loop around the northern end of Fort Myer and Arlington National Cemetery was not finished until 1937. The Evening Star reported that traffic was moving over the newly completed link of Route 50 around the north end of Fort Myer in 1937 (App. 2, Fig 3-4). “Boulevard Extension is among suggestions,” Evening Star, December 18, 1937, Newsbank; “U.S. Route 50,” The Virginia Highways Project, http://www.vahighways.com (accessed December 1, 2014).

4 The rear elevations continue the established form and fenestration pattern.

Detailed Description, Building Type Four (App 4, Fig. 30 and 31)

Two of the twenty buildings represent Building Type Four. Both buildings are parallel to and front Arlington Boulevard. The façades consist of a single-leaf central entrance door that provides access to a stair hall shared by four condominium units.

The symmetrically designed two-story, nine-bay, hipped-roof buildings have large center gable pediments. There are no associated pilasters like on the other pediments located on the property, but a matching elliptical fanlight pierces the center of the pediment. The single-leaf door is distinguished by a formal Colonial Revival-styled surround with fluted pilasters and an entablature. Brick recessed spandrel panels are limited to beneath the four first-story windows within the pediment.

The side and rear elevations continue the established fenestration and design. Other ornamentation includes the use of replacement synthetic shutters on the side elevations facing the interior courtyards. There are no chimneys associated with these buildings.

Building Type Three (App. 4, Fig. 2)

Corning & Moore designed Building Type Three to serve as the backdrop of the four interior courtyards. The three-story buildings overshadow the two-story perpendicularly-appended buildings (Building Type Two) adjoined at their eastern and western ends. The architects exploited the grade of the land to accentuate the height of Building Type Three (App. 4, Fig. 12). All of the main entry doors are accessed via a flight of stairs within the courtyard. The design of Building Type Three can be interpreted as a classically derived site plan with a focal building flanked by lower dependencies or ell additions.

Detailed Description, Building Type Three (App. 4, Fig. 12-13, 23, 32, 35, 38)

Four of the twenty buildings represent Building Type Three. All of the buildings’ facades face the interior courtyards and the rear elevations face the parking lot and driveway. Each building consists of two symmetrically off-center single-leaf doors that provide access to a stair hall shared by six condominium units.

On the main façade, the twelve-bay, three-story, hipped-roof buildings feature a smaller projecting central gable highlighted by a broken pediment and four brick pilasters extending two stories. The brick pediment is pierced by a central six-light circular wood window. The single-leaf doors on the first story are embellished with an elliptical hooded entry with vertical weatherboard protected by a metal roof. Other ornamentation includes a concrete drip course between the first and second stories and the use of recessed brick spandrel panels below the second-story windows.

5 The side and rear elevations continue the established fenestration and design. Two of the buildings contain brick chimney stacks.

Building Type Two (App. 4, Fig. 2)

The majority of the buildings at Cambridge Courts are Building Type Two. Corning & Moore placed these less ornate buildings on the periphery of the main roadways and interior courtyards. The buildings appear purposefully simpler to the more ornate two-story anchor buildings (Building Type One and Four) and the three-story buildings (Building Type Three). The differentiation of the door surrounds, either elliptical or pedimented hoods, creates visual interest to the otherwise simple design. The repetitive siting of these entry elements between the clusters adds to the overall formality of Cambridge Courts.

Detailed Description, Building Type Two (App. 4, Fig. 9-10, 14, 17-18, 26, 28, and 33-34)

Ten of the twenty buildings represent Building Type Two. All but one of the buildings’ facades face inward toward an interior courtyard. Each building features two symmetrically located single- leaf entrance doors. Each door provides access to a stair hall shared by four to six condominium units (a number of the buildings have basement units).

The fourteen-bay, two-story, side-gable buildings feature limited ornamentation. On the main façades, the single-leaf entry doors are embellished with either a projecting pediment or elliptical hooded entry with vertical weatherboard.5 Wood panels replace typical columns or pediments on the door surrounds. The windows are distinguished by slight variations in the lintel that create a sense of hierarchy. The basement windows (where visible) have a single course of segmental arched brick and the first-story windows have a double course of segmental arched brick. The upper story windows continue the typical window form (with its lintel defined by the building’s wood cornice).

The one-bay south elevations that adjoin the anchor buildings continue the typical window form; the center of the upper-gable end is obscured by the anchor building (App. 4, Fig. 39). Comparatively, the south elevations that are free standing contain a central circular wood window in the upper gable end (App. 4, Fig. 21). The one-bay north elevations face the private driveway and parking. These elevations are distinguished by false exterior end brick chimneys with recessed window openings on the first and second stories (App. 4, Fig. 18).

Several of the rear elevations have a single-leaf wood door accessing either the basement or first story. Ornamentation is limited to recessed brick spandrel panels located below the windows.

5 The pediment and hooded entries are sheathed with a replacement metal roof. Recessed lighting is located within the ceilings of these elements.

6 Building Type Five (App. 4, Fig. 2)

Building Type Five is represented by a single building that is approximately 172 linear feet, or 45 percent longer than the other building types.6 The building is of sufficient length to effectively define the triangular courtyard central to the design of Cluster C. While the length of the building is atypical of garden apartment design in Arlington County (that typically featured shorter building spans), such building dimensions were characteristic during war-time construction in order to maximize the number of units.7

Unlike Clusters A and B that depend upon the southern-oriented three-story buildings to create the backdrop for the interior courtyard, the two-story eastern-oriented Building Type Five serves as the focal point of this smaller courtyard (App. 4, Fig. 1). Corning & Moore repeated the more ornate design elements of Building Type Four (the anchor buildings) at the center of Building Type Five in order to elevate the overall aesthetic of the cluster.

Detailed Description, Building Type Five (App. 4, Fig. 2 and App 4, Fig. 42)

The main façade of Building Type Five faces a triangular interior courtyard created by the rear of the two buildings angled towards the intersection of Washington and Arlington boulevards. Building Type Five features three symmetrically spaced single-leaf entry doors that provide access to stair halls shared by four condominium units (total of 12 units).

In design, Building Type Five is an amalgamation of Building Type Four flanked by Building Type Two. The two-story, twenty-three bay, side-gable facade features a large central pediment pierced by a central elliptical fanlight. The center single-leaf door is distinguished by a formal Colonial Revival-styled surround with fluted pilasters and an entablature. The two off-center single-leaf doors are embellished with a projecting pediment with weatherboard wood siding and paneled wood surrounds. The majority of the first-story windows features brick recessed spandrel panels. The second-story windows continue the typical window form.

The side and rear elevations continue the established fenestration and design. The south elevation (side) facing Arlington Boulevard is embellished with replacement synthetic shutters on the windows.

6. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

A. Applicable Designation Criteria as described in Section 11.3.4.A of the Arlington County Zoning Ordinance: Cambridge Courts meets five of the eleven designation criteria as listed in Section 11.3.4.A.4, Establishment of Historic Districts. See Section J of this report for a detailed description.

B. Statement of Significance:

Cambridge Courts, built in 1943 and originally named Leehigh Apartments, exemplifies the community planning and development of large-scale rental housing for Federal employees during World War II due to Arlington County’s burgeoning population growth. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured the construction of the apartment complex and rationed construction materials were allocated to the project due to its location within a Defense War Housing Critical Area and proximity to the Pentagon and Fort Myer.

Cambridge Courts is further significant as its overall architectural design and layout reflect the FHA standards adopted for the benefit of modern, attractively planned residential communities for people of moderate means. The complex is an excellent example of garden apartment design with its use of traditional Colonial (Georgian) Revival architecture, concrete block construction veneered in brick, shallow pitched gable and hipped roofs, main entrances with public corridors, and double-hung windows that unite the interior spaces with the landscaped courtyards. Ample green space, trees, shrubbery, and an internal network of walkways distinguish the natural park-like setting of the property.

If approved, Cambridge Courts will become the third garden apartment complex designated a local historic district in Arlington County.8 Colonial Village (built in 1934) and Buckingham Village (constructed between 1937 and 1953) both had national influence on the design of apartment buildings in the mid-twentieth century. Colonial Village and Buckingham Village helped establish the implementation of garden apartment design in the United States, were large in scale (the number of units), and featured associated commercial spaces to be self-sustaining communities.

In comparison, Cambridge Courts was constructed in compliance with the National Housing Act (Title VI, Section 608) during World War II and was one of only ten wartime rental housing complexes constructed in Arlington County. None of these buildings are listed as a local historic district. Even with documented rationing of materials for the war effort, Corning & Moore’s design for Cambridge Courts had exceptional architectural depth. The architects capitalized on the small-scale development parcel and introduced a

8 sense of architectural hierarchy and formality in their design. Unlike Buckingham Village and Colonial Village that were more readily interpreted as a collection of small villages, Cambridge Court’s landscape has distinct focal points created by Building Type One and Four (anchor buildings) and Building Type Three (backdrop to the courtyards). The design of Cambridge Courts more closely interprets the stylistic elements of the Georgian period (symmetry of the fenestration, projecting pedimented entryways, paired gable-end chimney, etc.) in comparison to the more eclectic Colonial Revival-styled gardens apartment complexes most typical in the County. Therefore, the local historic district designation of Cambridge Courts presents the opportunity to preserve a garden apartment complex with historical and architectural value.

H. Narrative:

Property History

At the turn of the twentieth century, Cambridge Courts was sited on the former vacant land of Fannie Blow Hunter who owned numerous parcels in Arlington County (App. 2, Fig. 1 and App. 3, Fig. 1-2).9 After her death in 1927, the property remained in flux until the Chancery Court of Arlington, Virginia, directed the Special Commissioners of the Property to sell the land to W.M. Stone and L.R. Eakin for $17,841 on March 15, 1930 (App. 2, Fig. 2 and 6).10

On July 1, 1942, Stone and Eakin sold the property to Mary E. Neff for approximately $50,000 (App. 2, Fig. 6).11 She briefly owned the land before conveying it to Leehigh Apartments, Inc. on April 26, 1943

9 Fannie B. Hunter was the eldest daughter of Major Bushrod Washington Hunter and Mary Frances Hunter. She died on October 6, 1927, and is buried at St. Paul Cemetery, Alexandria, Virginia. “Fanny Blow Hunter,” htpp://www.findagrave.com (accessed December 1, 2014). 10 Arlington County Land Records, “Robinson Moncure et al, Special Commissioner, to William M.

Garden Apartment Context (1934-1954)

The development of suburban garden apartments derived from Sir Ebenezer Howard’s 1898 treatise To- morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform. Howard critiqued the deterioration of quality housing within urban centers and advocated for population movement towards sparsely-settled rural districts. Proposed developments respected the natural topography with winding drives, consisted of dwellings within landscaped settings, and provided ample recreation, education, and shopping facilities. Howard established the Garden City Association that strived for such a unified approach in planning. The architectural communities in Europe, particularly England and Germany, embraced the movement, which gained popularity in the United States in the 1920s. While Howard’s utopian “Garden City” was difficult to attain, the core principles of the movement were integrated into American planning ideals. Arlington County (along with other surrounding suburbs of Washington, D.C.) embraced the new form of multi-family housing and large-scale rental developments.15

Between 1934 and 1954, garden apartment construction prevailed as the dominant form of apartment construction in Arlington County. Multiple forces resulted in its prevalence including: 1) urban design and reform movements; 2) New Deal programs designed to stimulate the economy and reverse the decline of the construction industry; 3) an influx of Federal employees in the region first with the New Deal, then World War II, and finally with returning WWII veterans; and 4) a shortage of quality housing for civil servants and moderate income families.16

Garden apartments were traditionally two-to-three-story buildings with a central entrance, no lobby, and no elevators, arranged on a superblock in a landscaped setting. Coupled with the need to provide housing for moderate and low-income residents, exterior ornamentation and stylistic embellishments were often secondary to conforming to design principles promoted by the FHA, including but not limited to, standardization of products, improved air and light circulation, use of permanent building materials such as bricks and slate, and landscaped courtyards and outdoor spaces. Creating such amenities and design elements contrasted the prevalent negative imagery of urban tenant houses.

12 Mary Neff had to record a second confirmation deed with Leehigh Apartments, Inc., as the incorporation of Leehigh Apartments had not been executed prior to the recordation of the deed.

10 As stated in Garden Apartments, Apartment Houses and Apartment Complexes in Arlington County:

Garden apartment design is significant for its role in providing a new type of housing for residents of Arlington County. The design of the garden apartment complex and its relationship to the surrounding landscape represented a distinctly mid-20th century idea of multi-residential living. The small mass, low height and moderate density of each building within the complex set within a landscape environment separated from more urban [apartment] forms…. [Garden apartments] resulted from changing social ideals calling for a healthier approach to residential patterns. …the garden apartment allowed for several buildings to be grouped in a pleasing aesthetic plan to provide a more hospitable and healthier life for the occupants. A majority of these complexes [was] designed in the Colonial Revival style…. The sub-type played a major role in the development of public housing ideals of the 1930s and 1940s and is a critical component of the apartment building type in Arlington County.17

Federal Housing Administration Prior to World War II

In 1934, President Franklin Roosevelt and Congress passed the National Housing Act to revive the housing industry. The act called for the creation of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA proceeded to create incentives and standards for the construction of owner-occupied, rental single-family, and multi- family dwellings. These ideals incorporated the philosophies advocated by the Garden City movement and created conditions that favored the construction of planned residential communities for individuals of moderate means.18

The enactment of the National Housing Act, specifically Section 207 of Title II, opened funding for many of the large-scale apartment projects in Arlington County. Developers and the FHA looked towards the current Washington Metropolitan region due to its proximity to Washington, D.C., prevalence of undeveloped land, and general low tax rates. As a result, these areas including Arlington County served as a testing ground for the FHA’s new programs and the location of many of their successes. The agency’s design preferences and advocacy for economy of construction influenced the layouts and architectural elements of apartment complexes. Located in Arlington County, Colonial Village became the first garden apartment project in the nation insured by the FHA under Section 207 in 1935. As stated in the Garden Apartments, Apartment Houses, and Apartment Complexes in Arlington County, Virginia, “[Colonial Village] became a model for garden-apartment construction throughout the nation and was actively promoted by the FHA as an example for developers and investors.”19

11 Federal Housing Administration and World War II

At the onset of World War II, the FHA suspended consideration of Section 207 projects and shifted its priority towards the construction of war housing. The rapid increase of population in Arlington County (from 57,000 in 1940 to 120,000 in 1944) required large-scale, low-cost housing projects to house war-time workers. In response to this and other growth in similar burgeoning population centers, the Federal government passed additional amendments to the National Housing Act. Title VI, Section 608 addressed solely rental housing for defense workers. As stated in a congressional hearing:

The FHA has … an important war-time responsibility for encouraging private enterprise to contribute to wartime housing projects. To facilitate this, Title VI, which liberalizes the terms under which we may insure mortgages on new private construction, was added to the act in March 1941.20

For projects to have been eligible for assistance under Section 608, they must have been: “1) located within reasonable commuting distance of places of defense employment in any one of the 270 Defense Housing Critical Areas; 2) suitable for and intended primarily for defense workers within those areas; and 3) offered at a sales price or rental within reach of the defense workers for whom the housing is intended.”21 Defensive Housing Critical Areas (such as the Washington Metropolitan Area) included locations with manufacturing plants, military bases, or other facilities that attracted an influx of workers involved in the defense effort.

A total of “forty-three complexes and eighteen apartment buildings were constructed in Arlington County between 1940 [and] 1945.”22 Constructed in 1943, Cambridge Courts, originally named Leehigh Apartments, was one of the projects that received assistance under Title VI, Section 608.23 Upon its completion, there were no promotional advertisements for the property as it was immediately occupied by defense workers.24

As stated in Garden Apartments, Apartment Houses, and Apartment Complexes in Arlington County, Virginia: 1934-1943 (2011 amendment):

Scarce materials, including construction materials, were allocated among potential uses by the Federal War Production Board. Builders seeking priority for construction materials had to conform to the FHA requirements. In addition to cost limitations, the FHA also checked plans to ensure that

12 builders made the minimum possible use of scarce materials. This is reflected in the design of the apartment buildings, which were minimally ornamented and employed natural materials such as concrete block, brick veneers, asphalt shingles, wood entry surrounds, and metal-framed casement windows—which were steel prior to the war and aluminum after.25

Between January 1, 1943, and November 30, 1943, the FHA insured 231 projects in the nation with mortgages totaling $76,429,800 that provided 18,376 dwelling units. Leehigh Apartments was one of seven Section 608 projects in Arlington that year (App. 3, Fig. 3-6).26 See the table below for a complete list of Rental War Housing Projects under Section 608 completed in Arlington County and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area in 1943.

Edward Burton Corning and Raymond Gilbert Moore (Corning & Moore), Architects of Leehigh Apartments

Edward Burton Corning

On August 14, 1889, Edward Burton Corning (better known as E. Burton Corning) was born in Washington, D.C. He attended McKinley Technical High School (1902-1907) and proceeded to study architecture at George Washington University (1912-1915). Corning trained as an architectural draftsman for Arthur B.

14 Heaton, one of the more prolific architects in Washington, D.C. He served as a sergeant in the National Guard and a lieutenant of artillery during World War I.27

In 1919, Corning returned to Washington, D.C. and rejoined Heaton’s firm. His architecture licensure application contained a number of projects that he had designed and supervised as a partner in the firm. These include: the National Geographic Society Annex, Washington, D.C. (1923); the Methodist House, 4901 Connecticut Avenue, NW (1926); Y.W.C.A., 17th and K Streets, NW (1927); and the addition to the Washington Loan and Trust Company, 9th and F Streets, NW.28

Corning established his own architecture firm in 1932. In Washington, D.C., 104 permits were issued between 1934 and 1941 naming him as architect. The buildings were primarily modest Colonial-Revival- styled single-family dwellings; however, a number of commissions were for more substantial homes.29 An important work completed by Corning included the Massachusetts Avenue Parking Shops (1936), which is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.30 He continued to practice alone until forming a partnership with Raymond Gilbert Moore in 1942. The pair would remain in practice together until Corning’s death on December 7, 1957.31

Raymond Gilbert Moore

On November 29, 1889, Raymond Gilbert Moore was born in Washington, D.C.32 Similar to E. Burton Corning, Moore studied architecture at George Washington University. Between 1911 and 1915, permit records suggest that he was employed by developer Charles H. Taylor and designed modest single-family detached dwellings in Northwest Washington, D.C. World War I interrupted his architectural career as no permits are recorded in his name between 1916 and 1923. During the war, he served in France with the aviation section of the Signal Corps.33

Upon returning to Washington, D.C., Moore briefly designed dwellings for Taylor & Hedges before joining Samuel R. Harris Co., Inc. In 1925, he proceeded to design a number of Colonial Revival-styled brick duplexes.34 Other historians have noted that he had been associated with the C.H. Hillegeist Company in the 1930s.35 Newspaper records indicate Moore designed an addition at Benjamin Franklin University in

27 During World War I, Corning served as a lieutenant of artillery. “Edward Corning Dies, Architect for 50 Years,” Evening Star, December, 9, 1957, Newsbank; EHT Traceries, “Corning, E.B.,” DC Architects Directory, District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office; “Edward Burton Corning,” World War I Registration Card, Ancestry.com. 28 EHT Traceries, “Corning, E.B.,” DC Architects Directory, District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office. 29 Ibid. 30 The C.H. Hillegeist Company (who potentially employed Raymond Gilbert Moore) developed the parking shops. National Register Nomination, Massachusetts Avenue Parking Shops, July 25, 2003. 31 He died in Chevy Chase, Maryland. 32 The majority of the information regarding Raymond G. Moore was culled from records held by Ancestry.com, his obituary in the Evening Star, and an Architect Database compiled for the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office. “Raymond G. Moore,” District of Columbia, Select Births and Christenings, 1830-1955, Ancestry.com. 33 “Raymond G. Moore, Washington Architect,” Evening Star, March 14, 1963, Newsbank; “Raymond G.

15 1937.36 Moore had semiprofessional leading roles in the Washington Opera Company that may have briefly contributed to a decrease in architectural designs.37 Immediately before joining E. Burton Corning in 1942, Moore designed his first two apartment complexes in Washington, D.C. at 515 22nd Street NW (1940), and 2020 19th Street SE (1942). After Corning’s death in 1957, he expanded the firm to Corning, Moore, Elmore & Fisher and remained a partner until his own death on March 13, 1963.38

Corning & Moore

Formed in 1942, Corning & Moore was a prolific architecture firm in the Washington Metropolitan area. At first, the firm focused on garden apartments and low-rise apartment projects due to the strict wartime allocation of building materials by the Federal government and the priority to build such complexes.39 Apartments designed by the firm included: Leehigh Apartments (Arlington, VA), Colonnade Apartments (Washington, D.C), and Trenton Terrace (Washington, D.C.). All three projects were constructed by Standard Construction Company. In 1944, Corning & Moore designed 210 semidetached houses for the Fort Barnard Heights community in Arlington County.40

After World War II, Corning & Moore began to design high-rise apartment buildings and neighborhood shopping centers. Their projects in the District of Columbia included the Berkshire at 4201 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, the Greenbrier, at 4301 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, and the Calvert-Woodley, at 2601 Woodley Place, NW. Larger scale apartment buildings completed in Arlington included Fort Bennett Apartments (1953). These apartments were designed with more two-bedroom than one-bedroom units in stark contrast to the efficiencies constructed during the war effort.41 The firm’s neighborhood shopping centers include the Queenstown Shopping Center in Prince George’s County, the Willston Shopping Center in Falls Church, and the no longer extant Washington & Lee Shopping Center in Arlington.42

Other notable works include the Chevy Chase Baptist Church, the B’Nai B’rith National Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and the Regional Office Building for the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Several buildings in Arlington County were completed by Raymond Gilbert Moore’s new firm Corning, Moore, Elmore, and Fisher after the death of Corning in 1957. These included Park Adams at 200 North Adams Street (1960), The Berkeley at 2900 South Glebe Road (1961), and Windsor Towers at 5500 Columbia Pike (1964).43

16 I. Areas Exempt from Designation:

There are no exempt areas as all the property within RPC Master #18074PCD, 18074PCB, 18074PCC is included in the proposed historic district boundary.

J. Designation Criteria:

Cambridge Courts meets Designation Criteria A, B, E, G, and K as listed in Section 11.3.4.A.4 of the Arlington County Zoning Ordinance.

A) The property is listed or is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

1) The property is noted in the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form Garden Apartments, Apartment Houses and Apartment Complexes in Arlington County, Virginia: 1934-1954 accepted by NPS in 2003 and updated in 2011, and thereby considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.

2) The property is a contributing resource to the Lyon Park National Register Historic District accepted by the National Park Service (NPS) in 2002.

B) The property has character, interest, or value as part of the development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of the county, state, or nation.

Cambridge Courts has local, state, and national significance as it represents the design and development of mid-twentieth century garden apartment construction. It also reflects the FHA design and construction standards adopted for the benefits of efficient interior floor plans and attractive residential communities for individuals of moderate means.

More importantly, the construction of Cambridge Courts reflects the immediate need for multi-family housing projects prompted by the expansion of the Federal government and World War II. It is one of ten war rental housing projects built in Arlington County and the first such project in the County to be considered for local historic designation.

E) The property embodies distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style valuable for the study of a period, type, or method of construction.

Cambridge Courts illustrates the distinguishing characteristics of the Colonial (Georgian) Revival style. The buildings’ symmetrically designed façades, side-gabled and hipped roofs with center gable projections, brick pilasters, accentuated main

17 entries with decorative entablatures or pediments, ornate fanlights, double-hung windows, and wood molded cornices are typical elements of the Colonial Revival style.

Cambridge Courts is further architecturally significant due to its quality design and number of architectural details built during World War II, a period of strictly allocated materials.

G) The property embodies elements of design, detailing, materials, and craftsmanship that render it structurally or architecturally significant.

Cambridge Courts embodies the character-defining elements of garden apartment construction including: 1) traditional Colonial (Georgian) Revival design; 2) two-to- three story buildings; 3) a sense of permanence with concrete block construction veneered in brick; 4) main entrances with public corridors; and 5) buildings placed within a planned landscaped setting consisting of courtyards and green space, a circulation network of walkway and paths, and an internal street/drive and parking.

K) The property is suitable for preservation or restoration.

Cambridge Courts is suitable for preservation as the complex retains ample architectural and historical integrity to convey its period of significance. World War II-era garden apartments are defined by their massing, fenestration, setting, landscape, and interior plans that provide multi-family units.44 These critical elements are paramount in evaluating the integrity of resources from this period. Other detailed architectural elements contribute to the overall design, but were limited due to the economic and social factors of the war effort, and are therefore less important in this assessment.

Cambridge Courts retains its integrity of location and setting. The apartment complex remains in its original location abutting Arlington Boulevard (U.S. Route 50). The complex’s location is reflective of the growth of the Federal government. Built as War Rental Housing, the site is near a transportation thoroughfare (Route 50), military installations (Fort Myer and the Pentagon), and Washington, D.C. While infill of surrounding subdivisions increased since the complex’s date of construction, the adjacent built environment continues to be primarily single-family and multi-family housing. Long Branch Elementary School (originally named Fillmore Public School) was built directly north of the complex in 1953.

The buildings retain their integrity of design, materials, and workmanship. The massing and form of the buildings remain intact (with no additions or demolitions), no alterations have been made to the overall design or fenestration pattern, minimal

44 National Register Multiple Property Documentation Form, Garden Apartments, Apartment Houses and Apartment Complexes in Arlington County, Virginia: 1934-1954 (Amendment 2011), Section F, 35.

18 changes have been made to the overall circulation network, and the planned green spaces and courtyards are still extant.45

Cambridge Courts has integrity of feeling and association as the retention of all of these collective design elements expresses the aesthetic and historic sense of garden apartment construction in Arlington County. While the apartment buildings were converted to condominium buildings in the 1980s, they still continue to serve as multi- family housing.

K. Conclusion

Cambridge Courts retains sufficient historic and architectural integrity to be recommended for local historic district designation by Arlington County. The complex represents: 1) the growth of the Federal government and need for moderate-income war rental housing during World War II; 2) the implementation of the design standards set forth by the FHA; and 3) the Colonial (Georgian) Revival design aesthetic, landscape, and other character-defining features typical of garden apartment construction.
