Park Road Courts: This landmark was one of the earliest apartment buildings constructed in Columbia Heights.

The three-story Park Road Courts was completed in 1916, while the neighborhood was transitioning from a wealthy suburban enclave to an area of moderately-priced row houses and apartment buildings. The modestly appointed apartment building would have appealed to middle-income earners, due to its attractive location near the shops and restaurants at the intersection of 14th Street and Park Road NW, and for its accessibility to downtown Washington via the nearby streetcar line. The buff brick Classical Revival style building is the work of real estate developer John L. Warren and the architecture firm of Hunter & Bell.
