Colonial Village, Historic residential district in Northwest Washington, United States
Colonial Village contains 80 houses with colonial architecture features, including brick facades, gabled roofs, large chimneys, and traditional window designs.
The neighborhood stands on former plantation land and was constructed in 1931 with homes replicating colonial buildings, including the Moore House from Yorktown.
The district evolved from an exclusively white Protestant enclave to an integrated community, reflecting broader social changes in Washington DC.
The area borders Rock Creek Park and connects to Portal Drive and 16th Street, providing access to recreational spaces and main transportation routes.
Many residences in Colonial Village showcase reproductions of different colonial-era structures, creating an architectural timeline of early American buildings.
