Langston Terrace Dwellings
Langston Terrace Dwellings, Public housing complex in Northeast Washington, D.C., United States.
The Langston Terrace Dwellings features eight housing structures arranged around a central commons area with garden-style apartment buildings and recreational spaces.
Built between 1935 and 1938, this complex became the first federally funded housing project in Washington, D.C., under Roosevelt's Public Works Administration.
The terracotta frieze 'The Progress of the Negro Race' depicts African American history from slavery through World War I migration in the central courtyard.
The 274-unit residential development provides affordable housing options, with buildings designed to maximize natural light and community interaction.
African American architect Hilyard Robinson incorporated Bauhaus principles into the design, creating an International Style complex with concrete animal sculptures for children.
