Notes
  • Significance: The Colonel John Cox House, constructed in 1816-17 at 3339 N Street in Georgetown, is a handsome and imposing federal-era town house on a substantial corner lot. The house was built as the western anchor and largest unit of a row of five nearly identical town houses known as cox's row. These sophisticated houses exemplify the architecture of Georgetown during the federal period in their solid brick construction. Typical side-hall floor plans and use of fashionable decorative elements based on builders' pattern books. The house's main facade is virtually unaltered; its principal interior spaces retain their general layout and have features which, although primarily dating to a 1940's renovation are mainly sympathetic to the original character of the house. Generous front side and rear yards, extensively re-landscaped in the 1940s' provide unusually ample lawn and garden space around the house. there have been only three principal periods of ownership and very few phases of construction alterations...
