Cleveland Park History
“Pretty Prospects”
The first American settler was General Uriah Forrest, an aide-de-camp of George Washington. IN 1793, he built an estate on nearly 1,000 acres, original named “Pretty Prospects” and later renamed Rosedale. The estate served as home for the Youth For Understanding international student exchange organization for some time. In 2002, the Rosedale grounds were placed in a public conservancy and the farmhouse, said to be one of the oldest houses in the District, returned to residential use. Gardiner Greene Hubbard, first president of the National Geographic Society, built a colonial Georgian revival called “Twin Oaks” on 50 acres in 1888 as a summer home for his family. It is now site of the diplomatic mission of the Republic of China on Taiwan. Tregaron, present-day home of the Washington International School, is a Georgian house that was built in 1912.
“Oak View”
From Depression Era Todate
Today’s Cleveland Park offers a wonderfully diverse collection of architectural styles and home sizes of varying price points, along with some multifamily buildings and a growing retail center.
Adjacent But Different
Don’t confuse North Cleveland Park with its southern neighbor Cleveland Park, though both sprung from the original tract of land on which President Grover Cleveland built his 1880s summer estate.
North Cleveland Park evolved to become home to the Van Ness campus of the University of the District of Columbia, Sidwell Friends School, Sheridan School and many embassies, including Austria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Honduras, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Monaco, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, Slovakia and the United Arab Emirates. Many of these embassies are located within the International Chancery Center, the former site of the National Bureau of Standards.
