NFS Form 10-900-a 0MB Approval No. 1024-O018 (8*6) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet CLEVELAND PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT WASHINGTON D.C. Section number 8 Page z major architectural style in vogue between 1890 and 1941, and represents the changing tastes in architectural styles but at the same time is distinctive as a visually unified neighborhood. The district contains many excellent and unaltered examples of the major architectural movements in the United States including Carpenter Gothic, Italianate, Queen Anne, Shingle, Dutch Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, Craftsman Bungalows, Tudor Revival, Art Deco, and contemporary. The architectural integrity of the community is present in structures ranging from the vernacular Rosedale of 1794 to a house by I.M. Pei of 1962. (Criteria C; Area Of Significance: Architecture) (5) Cleveland Park is significant because it contains excellent and largely unaltered examples of the work of architects of both national and local stature, including Charles Adams Platt, R.J.Beall, Jr., Pelz and Carlyle, Frederick B. Pyle, Waddy B. Wood, Waldron Faulkner, William Lescaze, I.M. Pei, Winthrop Faulkner, Appleton P. Clark, Jr. Arthur B. Heaton, and Alien and Kenway. (Criteria C; Area Of Significance: Architecture) Further, the proposed district possesses sufficient integrity to convey, represent, and contain the values and qualities for which it is judged significant, and sufficient time has passed since it achieved significance to permit its professional evaluation in its historical context.

The district has a distinctive core of architect-designed late Victorian frame houses built between 1894 and 1901 which is unique in Washington D.C. (Criteria C; Areas of Significance: Community Planning and Development and Architecture) The Cleveland Park Historic District also embodies distinctive characteristics of community planning and development in the District of Columbia with its commercial "main street" which was created in 1920 with the adoption of one of the earliest zoning ordinances in the U.S. The D.C. ordinance included an unusual provision establishing four clearly designated commercial precincts along Connecticut Avenue north of Rock Creek Park reflecting the most advanced and innovative thinking about positive neighborhood development and the necessity for creating a compatible integral relationship between residential neighborhoods and commercial areas serving the neighborhoods. The unusual aspect was the restriction of commercial activity to four relatively small (3 blocks) areas rather than designating the whole of Connecticut Avenue commercial which would have encouraged strip commercial development. Connecticut Avenue was the only street in the
