Summary

Significance: This spacious and elegant dwelling, along with a similar house at the southeast corner of 30th and Q Streets, was designed by Andrew Jackson Downing and Calvert Vaux. It is representative of Downing's adaptation of the Italian villa into what he termed the American "suburban villa"; many of the Italianate features have been removed, however.
