House

-A A +A
1918, Waggaman and Ray. 2135 Bancroft Pl. NW

This five-bay house for developer William A. Hill is an interesting admixture of Georgian Revival and Beaux-Arts styles. Its most unusual feature is a magnificently carved window frame on the main story, signifying entry, set above a perfectly plain doorway below.
