NPS Form 10-900-a 0MB Approval No. 10244018 (M6) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet CLEVELAND PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT c WASHINGTON D.C. Section number 10 Page 3 BOUNDARY JUSTIFICATION architectural structures of a different type and a different time period behind the neighborhood shops on the western side of the avenue. North Boundary. The northern boundary is a natural boundary formed by the open space playing fields of the Sidwell Friends School and the Hearst Playground (both are outside the boundaries of the historic district), the steep revine to the immediate north of the houses on Rodman Street, the Melvin Hazen Park (included inside the historic district) and the grounds of the Embassy Complex and Intelsat approached from Van Ness St. N.W. (outside the boundaries of the historic district). These are natural topographical features including open fields, a steep revine, wooded land and hills which historically marked the northern boundary of the development pattern exemplified within the Cleveland Park Historic District. East Boundary. The eastern boundary is formed by Connecticut Avenue, with non-conforming buildings on the eastern side of the avenue excluded. This boundary is based upon a visual barrier formed by newer construction of apartment buildings of a different style of architecture from the buildings which form the integral core of the Cleveland Park Historic District. Both sides of Connecticut Avenue within the commercial precinct have always been an integral part of Cleveland Park as is evident from early maps and buildings permits. At the turn of the century the residential section of Cleveland Park extended on Macomb Street across Connecticut to the Indian Embassy on the hill overlooking Rock Creek Park. The shops and the apartment houses along Connecticut Avenue which are contemporary with the development of the residential portion of Cleveland Park and were built to complement and serve the residential neighborhood are an integral part of the Cleveland Park Historic District. The boundary line is drawn along the alley behind these significant contributing buildings to separate them from the more recently built condominiums and apartment buildings. South Boundary. The southern boundary is formed by natural topographical features formed by the woodland and steep ravines of Klingle Valley and the Tregaron and Twin Oaks Estates (included inside the historic district) and the open space of the grounds of the National Cathedral (outside the boundaries of the historic district). The residences to the south of these natural boundaries are part of Woodley Park which is a distinctly separate community in terms of its development history and stylistic tendencies.
