19th Century Estate is property is one of Georgetown’s few remaining large nineteenth–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 the Large 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 in Georgetown and recalls the character of Georgetown Heights during Georgetown’s nineteenth century heyday. e property’s continuous 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 ties with these families reveals a wealth of information concerning the patterns of original subdivision, architecture, land holding, and inheritance of nineteenth century Georgetown. Finally, the property carries additional import as the subsequent home to, among others, notable philanthropist Clarence Phelps Dodge and prominent journalist Alfred Friendly later in the twentieth century. Lined with quaint cobblestone streets and eighteenth- and nineteenth-century architecture, Georgetown is an enchanting mix of the past and present. e Williams-Addison House offers the ambiance, convenience and esteem of a Georgetown address.
