The National Gallery of Art was created in 1937 by a joint resolution of Congress, accepting the gift of financier and art collector Andrew W. Mellon. During the 1920s, Mr. Mellon began collecting with the intention of forming a public gallery of art in Washington. In 1937, the year of his death, he promised his collection to the United States.

lise howe realtor: Lise Howe Focus on Cleveland Park, Washington, DC - 10/13/10 11:34 PM
Cleveland Park is one of those very special wonders of Washington DC that make the city human and yet exquisitely elegant. Once a single farm of about 1000 acres belonging to General Uriah Forest, an aide-de-camp of George Washington, Cleveland Park can trace its origins to the 1740′s. Forest and his business partner, Col. Benjamin Stoddert, called the area about Forest’s farmhouse Rosedale. Dating to about 1793, the farmhouse structure is still surrounded by open space reminiscent of its original setting as gardens and farmland.
