Woodley Park Historic District |
Address: Encompassing roughly the area bounded by Rock Creek Park on the east, Calvert Street and Woodley Road on the south, 29th Street on the west, and Cathedral Avenue on the north
This suburban neighborhood was platted in the 1870's but not developed until the early 20th century (ca. 1905 - 1938). It's characterized by rows of houses within a park-like setting, flat-fronted houses in classical styles with front porches, and light-toned materials. Commerical and apartment buildings are prevalent along Connecticut Avenue. The buildings are designed by many local architects, including Middaugh and Shannon, Harry Wardman, Clarke Waggaman, Albert Beers, A.H. Sonnemann, Hunter and Bell, William Allard, Joseph Bonn, and George Santmyers. The district includes about 395 buildings.
Woodley Park Historic District was placed on the DC and National Registers in 1990.
