The majority of homes in Garfield are townhouses, many with front porticoes or porches. The houses are usually two or three stories and were built between 1905 and 1929. Their designs are modest brick townhouses in Flemish, Mediterranean, and English styles. There are also condominiums in Garfield located on Connecticut Avenue. They range from the Cathedral Park garden apartments built in 1929 to Woodley Park Place built in 1998. Most people, including residents, refer to their neighborhood as Cleveland Park, but Garfield which is located on both sides of Connecticut Avenue has a character all its own. Some of the confusion arises from the fact that the Old Woodley Park Historic District is a large portion of Garfield. While the Garfield neighborhood is small, it has more of what many larger communities do not possess. On its eastern border is one of the largest attractions in the city, the National Zoological Park. Garfield also has a small commercial district on Connecticut Avenue. The Woodley Park-Zoo Metro stop is located within its borders. Aiden Montessori School and Oyster Elementary School are in the neighborhood. There are numerous shops and restaurants on both sides of Connecticut Avenue that are housed in some of the early 20th century rowhouses. The Omni Shoreham and Marriott Wardman Park Hotel complexes are on the southern border of Garfield. A mural of Marilyn Monroe looks out on Calvert Street. Like its neighbors to the west and north, Garfield was a part of the parcel of land patented to George Beall of Georgetown in 1723 which was subsequently bought by Uriah Forrest, Benjamin Stoddert, and William Deakins to create Pretty Prospects (see history of Cleveland Park). Part of the Woodley estate (see history of Woodley Park) was on land which is now the Garfield neighborhood. Garfield was also part of the property belonging to Thomas Waggaman which was sold off to other developers when the Cleveland Park financier went bankrupt in 1905. Harry Wardman and other influential real estate developers began to purchase land in the Garfield area and built rowhouses and large apartment buildings on Connecticut Avenue during the development boom between 1905 and 1930. Commerical development became more prevalent after 1930, and many of the townhouses on Connecticut Avenue were converted into stores and restaurants.
