Waverly Hills Historic District

Waverly Hills is a suburban neighborhood in Arlington County, Virginia, about five miles west of Washington, D.C. It combines five subdivisions platted between 1919 and 1939: Willette Heights, Clarenford, Waverly Hills Section 3, Hines Addition to Waverly, and Waverly Village East. The district is bounded by North Glebe Road, North Utah Street, Interstate 66, and 20th Road North. Its earliest structure is the Glebe House, believed to date to about 1850 and replacing a building from about 1775 that served the rector of Fairfax Parish. Most other houses were built from the 1930s into the 1940s. Tudor Revival dominates the southern half, while Colonial Revival, including Cape Cod cottages, dominates the northern half. A few Craftsman bungalows and one Dutch Colonial Revival house also appear. The district has 439 contributing resources, mostly brick houses and garages. Later alterations have been limited, and the setback, scale, and suburban character of the neighborhood remain largely intact.
