2 to 4 PM
Ingomar Street, NW, Washington, DC
Members: $10; Nonmembers: $15
This home on Ingomar Street is a double-gabled bungalow constructed in 1916.
Designer William Randolph Talbott was a government architect and designer of
veterans hospitals. The first owner, Walter C. Brashears, was the home's
builder.
The house has been described variously as a 'colonial bungalow' perhaps
because of the classic columns on the porch and the high degree of symmetry
both inside and outside; as well as a 'bungalow on steroids' because of its
size relative to many traditional bungalows.
Although the footprint of the house has remained the same, over the years
the interior has been reconfigured a number of times. Early changes to the
first floor resulted in fewer but larger rooms. A kitchen, breakfast room
and butler's pantry morphed into a large eat-in kitchen. An office and
bedroom merged to create a new living room, repurposing the original living
room as a grand entrance hall with a massive stone hearth, the defining
architectural feature of the house.
Please RSVP before February 16, 2008. Space is limited. Priority will
be given to ADSW members.
Location: Northwest DC near the Friendship Heights Metro station. Full
directions will be provided to all who register.
