Winslow, Earle Micajah, House
Why it's listed
Built in 1940 on three adjoining lots in Arlington's Donaldson Run neighborhood, this two-story house at 2333 North Vernon Street is a Streamline Moderne dwelling designed by local architect Kenton Hamaker and constructed by Ira Henry. Concrete block faced in brick and covered in white stucco forms smooth walls with almost no applied ornament. A square bay and a curved bay with a conical roof give the plan a modified cross shape, while metal casement windows wrap around corners, and glass blocks flank the main door. A round porthole window and a tall stuccoed chimney add accents. Inside, an open plan joins the living and dining areas, with pine floors and chrome and glass fixtures. The house was built for Earle Micajah Winslow, an international economist with the United States Tariff Commission. Its significance rests on its design as one of only two Streamline Moderne houses credited to Hamaker in the county. A 1970s addition is set apart from the original design by different materials.
Significance in brief: The house is presented as a well-preserved example of Streamline Moderne residential design in Arlington County, and it is one of only two houses in that style credited to architect Kenton D. Hamaker. Its curved and square bays, wraparound metal casement windows, glass block entry and unadorned white walls illustrate the style. It is also tied to the economist Earle Micajah Winslow, who built it. It belongs to a multiple property listing on Streamline Moderne houses in Arlington.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
