Describe contributing and noncontributing resources if applicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The Wardman Park Annex (1928), now known as the Wardman Tower, 2600 Woodley Road, Washington, DC, was listed in the DC Inventory of Historic Sites in 1979 and National Register in 1984. This amended application is for a boundary increase to include two pairs of entrance gates, and for interior designation of the Wardman Tower lobby. The two pairs of gates, fronting Woodley Road, were built in 1927 as entrances to the original and no longer extant Wardman Park Hotel (1918). Although moved according to a re-alignment of driveways following demolition of the historic hotel, the gates retain their historic setting and integrity. In order to include these gates, this amendment proposes to extend the boundaries by a strip of land measuring 280 feet by 20 feet running parallel to Woodley Road from the eastern edge of the existing landmark boundary. The lobby occupies part of the first floor of the Wardman Tower, which is situated on a promontory at the southwest intersection of Woodley Road and Connecticut Avenue, NW on Lot 32 in Square 2132. The elegant, irregularly shaped space has a carefully planned scheme of wall and ceiling decoration in the 18th-century English “Adam Style.” Architect Mihran Mesrobian designed the lobby and the exterior of the building as a unified whole. The lobby decoration corresponds with the English Colonial revival style exterior, a highly sophisticated design that employs numerous classical-revival architectural motifs. Alterations to the Wardman Tower lobby do not detract from the integrity of the original plan and décor. The two pairs of majestic entrance gates, also designed by Mesrobian, correspond in date of construction, style, and material to the Wardman Tower. The gates are composed of the same red brick and limestone as the Tower, along Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Wardman Tower DC Name of Property County and State with classical revival motifs such as volutes, shells, and urns. The entrance gates are located on present-day Square 2132, Lot 25, part of the Washington Marriott Wardman Park property. Both pairs of gates were moved slightly on the site to accommodate altered driveways following demolition of the Wardman Hotel. However, the setting remains intact and the gates retain integrity. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Lobby: The Wardman Tower lobby occupies most of the central core and parts of the radiating wings on the first floor of the building. It features exposed ceiling beams and a series of arches that unify the irregularly shaped room and, as James Goode has pointed out, “establish a formal rhythm reminiscent of the Georgian period. Some of the arches are windows; others are mirrored, while still others open onto corridors, staircases and an elevator.”1 The English Colonial Revival decoration on the exterior of the Wardman Tower, such as swags and brackets on the balcony tiers and the original entrance on Woodley Road, is exuberantly, if not more delicately used for the décor of the lobby. The elegant decorative scheme was inspired by 18th-century London townhouses designed by Robert Adam, albeit on a more modest and simplified scale in that the décor is located primarily in the ceiling areas. The ceilings, with delicate arabesques and medallions, and the grotesques in the fan light areas over the elevator doors, derive from several of Adam’s most celebrated interiors, including Derby House (1773-74), Watkin Wynn House (1772-74), and Shelburne (Lansdowne) House (1768). These decorative schemes were widely disseminated by Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam, one of the most important architectural books of the 18th century.2 The lobby originally

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.

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.

    For immediate release News media contact: Leslie Braunstein 703/234-7762, [email protected] Company contact: Steve Schwat, 202/684-7840 URBAN INVESTMENT PARTNERS COMPLETES RENOVATIONS OF HISTORIC APARTMENTS AND RETAIL SPACE IN DC’S CLEVELAND PARK Washington, D.C, November 19, 2009… Urban Investment Partners has completed a $2.1 million renovation of The Macklin, a 70-year-old apartment building located at 2911 Newark Street, N.W. on the corner of Connecticut Avenue in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The company also has completed renovations on about 3,000 square feet of ground-level retail space. Residents will begin moving into their newly upgraded apartments on December 1; there are 17 apartments currently available. UIP’s renovation of The Macklin included an exterior facelift that restored famed architect Mihran Mesrobian’s exotic Byzantine decorative motifs, which are strikingly uplit at night. The front “yard” is newly landscaped and fenced, while residents enjoy the security of a new building access control system. Inside, the redesigned lobby is highlighted by a tiered and tasseled chandelier that illuminates the restored Art Deco staircase, and also includes the original glass block entry feature. The Macklin’s efficiency, one- and two-bedroom apartments offer shiny, fully restored original hardwood floors, all-new baths, and beautifully appointed modern kitchens, some with generously sized walk-in pantries. Kitchens have ceramic tile floors, granite countertops and breakfast bars, espresso-colored framed cabinets, high-end GE stainless steel appliances, ultra-modern pendant light fixtures and under-cabinet lighting, and the unique decorator touch of sea-foam blue glass block backsplashes.
