History edit

The townhouses were designed by George S. Cooper and Victor Mendeleff for owner John W. Foster, and built by Theodore A. Harding, in 1892, in the Second Empire style.

Between 1928 and 1934, the townhouses were acquired by George Washington University as a part of a campus expansion led by Cloyd Heck Marvin.[2]

Between 2000 and 2002, they were remodeled.[3]

The buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
