19th Century Estate

is property is one of Georgetown’s few remaining largenineteenth–century estates with its nineteenth century appearance intact. e Williams-Addison House was individually designated as a historic landmark and placed on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in 1964 under theLarge Houses and Mansions sub-section of Georgetown(1751-1895).  It is also a contributing building in the Georgetown Historic District.

Landmark Amendment states, in part:is three-quarter acre lot remains a significant open space inGeorgetown and recalls the character of Georgetown Heightsduring Georgetown’s nineteenth century heyday. e property’scontinuous existence as a single-family residence on a large lot illustrates a long and significant association with two of Georgetown’s oldest families, the Bealls and the Williamses, and establishes their relationship with the internationally-influential Russian Bodisco family. Its tieswith these families reveals a wealth of information concerningthe patterns of original subdivision, architecture, land holding,and inheritance of nineteenth century Georgetown. Finally,the property carries additional import as the subsequent hometo, among others, notable philanthropist Clarence PhelpsDodge and prominent journalist Alfred Friendly later in thetwentieth century.

Lined with quaint cobblestone streets and eighteenth- andnineteenth-century architecture, Georgetown is an enchant-ing mix of the past and present. e Williams-AddisonHouse offers the ambiance, convenience and esteem of aGeorgetown address.
