It includes 125 Cape Cod houses, 114 Colonial Revival houses and 36 Ranch houses, plus garages and sheds. The form judges that the district keeps its integrity of design, workmanship, feeling and association despite later re-siding and window replacement. The significance statement itself was not included in the supplied text, so the argument is inferred from the description and classification.","narrative":"Claremont is a residential neighborhood in southwestern Arlington County, Virginia, along the border with Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria. Most of its houses were built between 1946 and 1949 in two forms: a one-and-a-half-story Cape Cod model and a two-story Colonial Revival model. In 1954 the same developer added thirty-six one-story Ranch houses in the southeast corner. The houses sit on sloping, winding streets, and many in the western section stand above street level behind embankment walls and stairs. Original features include asbestos Waveline shingles, brick chimneys, 6/6 wood windows and Colonial Revival door surrounds. Over time many owners added vinyl or aluminum siding, replacement windows, dormers and porches. The district counts 252 contributing and 84 noncontributing resources, including garages and sheds. It was listed as a locally significant example of a postwar suburb that retains its overall integrity of design, workmanship, feeling and association despite these changes.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals/Colonial Revival; Modern Movement/Ranch Style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Historic and current use are both single dwellings and secondary structures.
