Mace Properties, Inc. developed it in 1937-1938.","why_significant":"The district is notable for its cohesive Colonial Revival rowhouses, which show how the style was adapted into modest, mass-produced housing for the Washington area in the 1930s. Uniform size and materials are varied by three interpretations of the style: side-entry, central-entry and Cape Cod. Little has been built or altered since 1940, so integrity remains high.","narrative":"Glebewood Village is a compact neighborhood of 104 attached brick rowhouses in northern Arlington County, Virginia, laid out on nearly six acres around the T-intersection of North Brandywine Street and 21st Road North. Mace Properties, Inc. built it in 1937 and 1938. Each house is two bays wide with a side-gabled roof, skintled brick laid in six-course American bond, paired 6/6 windows and molded wood cornices. Variety comes from three Colonial Revival forms: side-entry houses, which are the most common, central-entry houses, and Cape Cod houses with dormers. Some houses add Tudor-style half-timbering, stone veneer or siding on the upper story. Interiors were originally identical, with a basement, first-floor rooms and two bedrooms and a bath upstairs. The district represents modest, mass-produced suburban housing built to meet the growing needs of the Washington area in the 1930s. No new building has occurred since 1940, and changes have been limited to items such as replacement windows and roofing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Mace Properties, Inc.
