The Kennedy-Warren: Lecture and Reception

American Institute of Architects
1735 New York Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC
Reservations required
One of most elegant and striking silhouettes in Washington, D.C., is
that of The Kennedy-Warren, a towering apartment house located on
Connecticut Avenue. Designed by Washington architect Joseph Younger in
1929-30, it was a monumentally scaled, luxurious, and modern apartment
building for its period.
Our speaker, James Goode, is a well-known authority on the architecture
of Washington, D.C. who served as the Curator of the Smithsonian Castle
for 17 years. He is writing a book on the Kennedy-Warren apartment house
for the B.F. Saul Company, the building's current owner.
Co-sponsored with the Latrobe Chapter of the Society of Architectural
Historians.
