Warder Mansion

Warder Mansion

Warder Mansion is located on 16th St in Washington, D.C. approximately 1.5 miles north of the White House. An early example of preservation commitment, the Warder-Totten house now marks one of the city's most egregious examples of demolition-by-neglect. In 1925, Washington architect George Oakley Totten reconstructed the Benjamin Warder House, originally built by H. H. Richardson in 1865 at 1515 F Street, on its present Meridian Hill site. Totten used all of the original exterior stone (except the main doorway) and much of the interior woodwork. Privately owned and vacant for more than a dozen years, this architectural landmark is virtually reduced to a shell. This site was listed on the D.C. Inventory in 1964 and on the National Register in 1972. It has been on the League's Most Endangered Places List since 1996. Rallies and news conferences have been held in front of the building. The property is currently up for sale, and DCPL is hopeful that a new owner will stabilize this significantly deteriorated landmark. Because the deterioration has continued, DCPL has decided to keep this structure on the list.

The Warder Mansion has since been renovated and has been split into 38 individual one and two bedroom apartment homes.
