4. Causeway at Tregaron

In 1912, renowned country house architect, Charles Adams Platt designed several buildings on this 20 acre country estate in collaboration with landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman.

Initially named The Causeway for its stone bridges across Rock Creek, it became Tregaron in 1940 when it was purchased by Marjorie Merriweather Post and her husband Ambassador Joseph Davies.

Washington International School occupies all of Tregaron's original buildings and six acres with the remaining land conveyed to the Tregaron Conservancy in 2008.
