Glebewood Village Historic District

Glebewood Village Historic District is a residential neighborhood in Arlington County containing 105 buildings arranged across seven blocks. The rowhouses follow Colonial Revival design with brick walls and side-gabled roofs, most standing two stories tall.

This residential area rose between 1937 and 1938 as part of suburban growth in the Washington region. The rapid construction reflected the area's expansion plans during that period.

The neighborhood reflects mid-20th-century residential living, with its tidy rowhouse blocks showing how people organized their communities during that era. The uniform yet varied designs speak to a thoughtful approach to building homes for families.

The neighborhood sits along North Brandywine Street between Lee Highway and 10th Place North and is easy to explore on foot. Visitors can view the houses from public streets and walk freely through the area.

Each house displays distinctive details like two-bay window widths, asymmetrical rooflines, and original brick facades from the 1930s. These small architectural touches give the neighborhood variety despite its uniform layout.
