1326 Valley Place, SE

1326 Valley Place, SE, built in 1885 by Henry A. Griswold, is a Cottage-style home originally intended for Anacostia’s working-class residents. Its earliest known occupants were a Navy Yard carpenter, a railroad stenographer, and two teachers. The dwelling retains much of its original siding and architectural detail along the front gable roof. The rear half of the house was demolished in 2011 and was reconstructed by The L’Enfant Trust.
