The Architect - Charles M. Goodman 1 of 2
The Sevareid House was originally designed and built by Charles M. Goodman (November 26, 1906 – October 29, 1992), a noted Washington, DC architect in 1941. Goodman made a name for himself with modern designs in suburban Washington, D.C. after World War II.
While his work has a regional feel, he ignored the colonial revival look so popular in Virginia. Goodman was quoted in the 1968 survey book Architecture in Virginia as saying that he aimed to “get away from straight historical reproduction.”
Goodman, who designed the original National Airport outside of Washington, D.C. and served as main architect of the Hollin Hills neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia, attended the Illinois Institute of Technology. He came to D.C. in 1934 to work as the designing architect in the Public Buildings Administration. He later served as head architect at the United States Treasury Department and the Air Transport Command. After World War II he worked closely with Robert C. Davenport designing and site planning most of the Hollin Hills, where his firm, Charles M. Goodman Associates, designed over 14 models of house.
Before the “builder houses”, Goodman designed more than a dozen custom homes for prominent people. The Sevareid House was one of his early efforts.
While the photos you see are more recent it’s important to know that the state of the Sevareid house was quite different upon its purchase in 2013 …. The beautiful renovation and restoration process was undertaken by Cook Architecture and builder David Lewis. Follow along for part two and MORE about the history of the Sevareid house!
