Warder Mansion
Warder Mansion (also known as Warder-Totten House) is a Washington, D.C. apartment complex at 2633 16th Street Northwest. Located in the Meridian Hill Park neighborhood, it is the only surviving building in the city designed by architect Henry Hobson Richardson.〔Richardson designed four houses in D.C.: the N. L. Anderson House (1881-83) at 16th & K Streets NW was demolished in 1925; the adjoining houses for Henry Adams and John Hay (1884-86) at 16th & H Streets NW were demolished in 1927 for construction of the Hay-Adams Hotel; and the Warder House.〕
An early example of preservation commitment, the building was saved from demolition in the 1920s by being disassembled and moved 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of its original site. In the 1990s, the Warder-Totten House's prospects for survival again looked bleak, but the building was saved a second time.
==Warder==
Benjamin H. Warder was president of Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Company, a major manufacturer of farm machinery. It was one of five companies merged in 1902 to form International Harvester.〔(Warder, Bushnell & Glessner ) from Glessner House.〕
In 1885, Warder hired Boston architect H. H. Richardson to design his house at 1515 K Street NW. Richardson died in 1886, but his firm completed the house in 1888. Warder died in 1894, and his widow occupied the house until 1921.
