2225 N Street
Built between 1924 and 1925, this low-rise apartment building was designed with Rock Creek Park views in mind.
Text
The apartment building at 2225 N Street was designed by Eugene Waggaman in an Early 20th Century Vernacular style, with brick masonry walls and a terra-cotta tile roof. This four-story, 32-unit building was constructed by developer Harry Wardman in 1925 and renovated in 1994.
The massing of 2225 N Street reflects Waggaman's predilection toward providing light and air circulation to residents. The original U-shape of the building maximized the amount of light and air. It also provided residents with a view of Rock Creek Park, thanks to the rear court's orientation towards the park's green space. An addition has since filled this court, but the original building's design is still visible.
