In 1934, Midentury Modern architect Charles Goodman came to Washington, D.C. to work as the designing architect in the Public Buildings Administration only to later serve as the head architect at the U.S. Treasury Department and the Air Transport Command. Nowadays, he is most known for creating the original terminal of Reagan National Airport and Fairfax County’s Hollin Hills community.
After only a decade, Goodman had 32,000 houses constructed with Modernist designs that later resulted in him winning the National Award of Merit from the Architectural Institute of America. By the 1950s, he was known as D.C.’s foremost Modernist architect working in single-family housing.
Many of his projects have also been added to the National Register of Historic Places as well as featured in popular publications, including Life magazine and Good Housekeeping.
While Goodman has designed everything from government buildings to schools to churches, Curbed DC would like to feature a few of his best designed residential spaces, all for sale. Below, see three beautiful single-family homes designed by Goodman, all up for grabs for under $750,000.
