Warder Mansion

The Warder Mansion features robust stone walls, intricate detailing, and high ceilings characteristic of Henry Hobson Richardson's architectural design principles.

Built between 1885 and 1888 for industrialist Benjamin Warder, the structure was dismantled and relocated 1.5 miles north during the 1920s to preserve its architectural heritage.

The mansion represents a period when wealthy industrialists commissioned prominent architects to design residences that displayed their social status in Washington society.

Located at 2633 16th Street Northwest, the mansion now contains multiple apartment units with hardwood floors, offering both one and two-bedroom living spaces.

This mansion stands as the sole remaining structure in Washington, D.C. designed by architect Henry Hobson Richardson, who died before its completion.
