1837-1923

— Brigadier General, U. S. Army —

In Memory Of Henry Martyn Robert (1837-1923), Brigadier General, U. S. Army. One of this country's most distinguished river, harbor and shoreline engineers, he was led by civic concerns to become the noted original author of the familiar parliamentary manual, ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER.

Robert served in the city-managerial army position of Engineer Commissioner of the District of Columbia from 1890 to 1891. Consequently a key initial member of the Rock Creek National Park Commission, he helped create the city's popular wooded refuge.

While Commissioner, he lived in the house that stood on this site at 1812 N Street N. W., for nearly a century until 1982. The front of the house and those of adjacent dwellings of the period remain preserved in position, skillfully blended into the architecture of a modern office building.
