This historic three-story brick Colonial Revival house is one of the earliest examples of this style in Washington, DC. Located in the Georgetown Historic District, the residence has undergone many dramatic transformations since its construction in 1893. A 1961 modification removed the front porch and widow’s walk and relocated the front door, replacing the original entry with a window.

Approved by the Commission of Fine Arts and Old Georgetown Board, the renovation scheme reinstates the house’s original presence by restoring the porch and re-situating the front door, while adding a rear modern garden pavilion. With a glass connector lightly joining the two structures, the exposed brick of the existing house helps to distinguish itself from the new space: a modern, yet contextual, pavilion for the kitchen, dining, and living areas on the ground floor and a new master suite on the floor above.
