Jost-Kuhn House: This Italianate style residence dates to 1859, when this area was rural Washington County.

Located in the Brightwood neighborhood, the Jost-Kuhn House was constructed in 1859 on a 24-acre tract. The Jost-Kuhn House is a two-story brick house and is an excellent and intact example of a mid-19th century country villa constructed outside the City of Washington before the Civil War. This Italianate style villa is a rare survivor of the pre-Civil War landscape of rural Washington, DC. A double-story wood porch with scroll-sawn detailing and a single-story wood porch are located on the northeast and northwest elevations of the house, both facing Madison Street NW.
