Perry Belmont House

The Perry Belmont House, or the Order of the Eastern Star International Headquarters, is the headquarters for the General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, one of several organizations affiliated with Freemasonry. The building is located at 1618 New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The house takes the form of a free-standing pavilion in the French style, with a single story articulated with slender Ionic pilasters over a channel-rusticated basement. A balustrade with stone urns masks a discreet Mansard attic story. In the interiors, wrought-iron fixtures from France, wood from Germany, and marble from Italy are used. The Belmont House is a designated contributing property in the Dupont Circle Historic District and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1973. In 2009, the property value of the Belmont House was $7,475,100 (equivalent to $11.22 million in 2025). History Perry Belmont, a politician, commissioned the French architect, Ernest-Paul Sanson, to design for him and his wife, the current Louis XVI Beaux-Arts mansion. Horace Trumbauer, an associate architect from Philadelphia, was in charge of the carrying out construction, which lasted from 1907 to 1909. The trapezoidal plot of land was purchased in 1906 for $90,000 (equivalent to $3.11 million in 2025), and construction cost $1.5 million (equivalent to $53.75 million in 2025). During the Belmonts' time in D.C., Mr. and Mrs. Belmont would host lavish parties for the Washington elite. And in 1919, Edward, Prince of Wales, was a guest of the Belmonts (at President Woodrow Wilson's request); there, he conferred medals upon American soldiers whom the United Kingdom wished to honor for their service in World War I. Beginning in the 1920's, the Belmonts increasingly spent time away from Washington, and the house was mothballed for nearly a decade. Perry Belmont then sold the building to the General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star in 1935 for $100,000 (equivalent to $2.35 million in 2025), on the condition that the Right Worthy Grand Secretary would live in the building. Current usage Since being acquired by General Grand Chapter, some of the space has been adaptively reused as offices for their Headquarters. However, most of the building's interior has been kept intact from Belmont's time; public tours can be made by appointment. Some items from the Belmont era, as well as furnishings acquired by General Grand Chapter, are on display. In the State Dining Room, five ceiling paintings depict the five heroines of the Order. There are 37 oil paintings and several Tiffany vases in the house. The Japanese fourfold teakwood screen was a gift from the Emperor of Japan to Perry Belmont. See also History of Washington, D.C.

Tilden Gardens

Tilden Gardens is a six-building apartment complex in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, DC. Constructed in the 1930s, it was the largest luxury apartment complex of its time. Tilden Gardens fills the block between Connecticut Avenue, Tilden Street and Sedgwick Street in Cleveland Park. All six buildings center on a three-acre multilevel garden that has been described as the best of its kind in Washington, DC. History The Tilden Gardens units were originally planned in 1927, as cooperatives (co-ops). However, due to the collapse of the housing market, most of them were not completed until after the Great Depression. The four later buildings' apartments were rented out through the 1930s. In 1935-36 and again in 1939, one apartment was rented to then Senator Harry Truman and his wife. The first two Tilden Gardens buildings became legally separate cooperatives. By 1939, it became possible for owners to sell apartments again, and the later four buildings were incorporated as a single "Tilden Gardens" co-op. Description Counting all six buildings, Tilden Gardens has 210 apartments, of which 170 are in the "Tilden Gardens" co-op as such. The later buildings were modified to include fewer large apartments and more one-bedroom apartments, in recognition of Depression economics. Three of the original six buildings have an X shape and three have an H shape, After the designs had been approved, the developer decided to rotate and combine the F and G buildings. The resulting structure (still known as the F/G building) ended up with the oddity of two identical front doors a few feet apart. The Tilden Gardens buildings have custom-made brick with limestone trim. The architecture has been described as Tudor Revival and Art Deco All the apartments have at least two exposures, and many have three. Notable tenants Harry S. Truman Lucius D.

District of Columbia International School

District of Columbia International School (DCI) is a public charter school in Washington, DC. It offers an International Baccalaureate education to students in grades 6 to 12. Each student learns in a partial language immersion program in Spanish, French or Chinese. It is overseen by the District of Columbia Public Charter School Board. History and campus DCI was founded in 2014 by five elementary charter schools with language immersion instruction models: Latin American Montessori Bilingual Public Charter School, Washington Yu Ying Public Charter School, Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School, Mundo Verde Public Charter School, and DC Bilingual Public Charter School. The schools joined forces to allow their students to continue their language education into middle and high school. Graduating fifth grade students in from those five schools get first preference for admission to DCI through the city's lottery system for charter and public schools. At the time the member schools first conceived of DCI, D.C.'s charter school law did not allow for such a model that would give rising fifth grades preference in admission to the school. The D.C. Council amended its charter school law in June 2014 to authorize the school and allow it to obtain city funding. After initially operating out of temporary space in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood, in 2017, the school moved into its permanent campus, the Delano Hall building of the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The new building, a former dormitory for nurses, can accommodate up to 1,450 students. Student body DCI is a diverse school with no majority race, consisting of about 40% African-American, 40% Hispanic, and 15% Caucasian students in the 2018-19 school year. 8.3% are English language learners and 51.6% are economically disadvantaged. Academic program Students in grades 6-10 follow the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program and students in grades 11-12 can either study for the International Baccalaureate Diploma or International Baccalaureate Career-related Program. All students choose to focus on Chinese, French, or Spanish, and can pursue the IB Bilingual Diploma. Results In 2019, the DCI middle and high school were both rated Tier 1 by the District of Columbia Public Charter School Board. The same year, 61% of DCI students achieved proficiency in the English Language Arts/Literacy section of the PARCC exam and 41% achieved proficiency in the math section.

NASA Headquarters

The Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters is a building at 300 E Street SW in Washington, D.C. that houses NASA leadership, who provide overall guidance and direction to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a U.S. government executive branch agency led by the NASA administrator. Ten field centers and a variety of installations around the country conduct the agency's day-to-day work. The James E. Webb Memorial Auditorium, named for NASA's second administrator, James E. Webb, hosts agency news conferences and NASA Social events. A lending library, the history office, archives, production facilities for NASA TV, and a NASA gift shop are also located in the building. The building opened in 1992 as Two Independence Square as part of the two-building Independence Square complex, which was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. It is owned by South Korean investment firm Hana Asset Management and leased to NASA through 2028. On June 12, 2019, the street in front of the building was given the honorary name Hidden Figures Way in honor of some of NASA's Black women mathematicians—Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary W. Jackson—who were central figures in the 2016 book Hidden Figures and its film adaptation. On June 24, 2020, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine announced that the headquarters building had been renamed the Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters, after NASA's first Black woman engineer. A ceremony officially renaming the building was held on February 26, 2021. In 2023, NASA opened an exhibit in the lobby, marking the first time the agency welcomed the public into the building. The Earth Information Center exhibit shows how NASA views Earth from space, tracking patterns in air temperature and quality, climate, water levels, and ecosystems, and how these data can help humans understand and address climate change. The entrance to the exhibit also features a large NASA worm sculpture, dedicated in honor of its designers, Bruce Blackburn and Richard Danne, as well as NASA's former art director Robert Schulman. NASA's lease on the building expires in August 2028, and the agency has expressed that it plans to move out of the building, looking for a smaller space of approximately 375,000 to 525,000 square feet (34,800 to 48,800 m2).
