The Willard-Ryan House #1 is located at 5812 Quebec Street in Berwyn Heights, Maryland. This dwelling is
sited on a grassy lot that slopes to the south. The property features mature trees and shrubs, as well as
foundation plantings. A wood fence encloses the rear yard of the property and also bounds the western edge of
the front yard. A gravel driveway is located southeast of the dwelling. A concrete walkway leads from Quebec
Street to the porch steps of the dwelling.
DWELLING
Constructed c. 1894, this two-story, three-bay single-family dwelling has an L-shaped form. Influenced by the
Queen Anne style, the dwelling is composed of a two-story, side-gable main block with a two-story, front-gable
projection on the southeast corner of the façade (south elevation) and an original one-story projection on the
southwest corner of the façade. These two projections make up the two structural bays of the primary façade.
The wood-frame dwelling is reclad with German vinyl siding and is set on a solid foundation of American-bond
brick, which has been parged on the west (side) elevation. A side-gable roof covered with asphalt shingles caps
the dwelling. The roof is finished with overhanging eaves.
The front-gable projection, which is original, has the same material treatment as the main block and is one bay
wide and one bay deep. This projection dominates the easternmost bay of the façade. Its roof is pierced by an
interior brick chimney. The eastern bay of the façade, within the projection, is pierced on the first and second
stories by paired 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash windows with paneled vinyl shutters. The upper gable end
features a pentoid-shaped opening containing a 1/1, double-hung, wood-sash window with a vinyl surround.
The one-story projection in the westernmost bay is stepped back from the front-gable projection approximately
four feet and contains the main entry. The single-leaf opening holds a paneled wood door with lights topped by
a three-light wood transom. To the immediate west of the entry is a narrow, 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash
window. A one-story, three-bay porch extends the width of the façade. The porch is set on a brick pier
foundation that has been infilled with wood lattice. A shed roof of asphalt shingles is supported by chamfered
wood posts, which are set on a solid balustrade clad with German vinyl siding. A flight of wood steps with
square wood balusters in the western bay provides access to the porch. The westernmost bay of the main
block’s south elevation, which although set back significantly, reads as part of the façade. It is pierced by single
openings on the first and second stories, each containing a 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window with vinyl-clad
surrounds.
The east (side) elevation of the building, which is two bays deep, features two symmetrically placed window
openings on the first and second stories. Each opening contains a 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window. All the
openings have vinyl-clad surrounds. The upper gable end features a pentoid-shaped opening containing a 1/1,
double-hung, wood-sash window with a vinyl surround.
The west (side) elevation has a narrow 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window, which based on its location
appears to illuminate the interior stair. This opening is located in the southern end bay of the elevation between

the first and second stories. The northern bay of the main block, which appears to extend from the main block
because of the projections on the façade, features a 1/1, double-hung, vinyl-sash window on the first story with
inoperable wood louvered shutters. The western upper gable end features a pentoid-shaped opening containing a
louvered metal vent in the lower sash.
A one-story addition is located on the northeast corner of the rear (north) elevation. Constructed c. 1970, the
wood-frame addition is clad with German vinyl siding and is set on a solid concrete-block foundation. A shed
roof covered with asphalt shingles caps the addition. The rear elevation has an opening that contains a 1/1,
double-hung, vinyl-sash window. The west elevation is pierced by a single-leaf, paneled wood door with lights.
A domed skylight pierces the shed roof. A small wood deck projects from the west elevation of the addition and
wraps around the adjacent two-story addition. This two-story addition is located on the northwest corner of the
rear elevation of the main block. Constructed c. 1965, the wood-frame addition is clad with German vinyl siding
and is set on a solid concrete-block foundation. A shed roof of asphalt shingles caps the addition. The rear
elevation is fenestrated with paired one-light, vinyl sliding windows with metal-clad surrounds.
INTEGRITY
The Willard-Ryan House #1 retains a moderate level of integrity of design, workmanship, and materials as a
result of the application of vinyl siding, the replacement of the original windows and molded surrounds, and the
rear additions, although the construction of additions is common in Berwyn Heights and they are not fully
visible from the public right-of-way. The building maintains a high level of integrity of feeling, location,
setting, and association due to its association with the Berwyn Heights community.
Overall, the Willard-Ryan House #1 retains a moderate level of integrity.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The Willard-Ryan House #1 was constructed c.1894 at 5812 Quebec Street in Berwyn Heights, Maryland.
Berwyn Heights, a late-nineteenth-century railroad-suburb, was intended for middle-class residents who
commuted daily to Washington, DC. This single-family dwelling is indicative of many of the original
residential buildings constructed in this community during its first phase of development, which occurred in the
late nineteenth century with the establishment of Charlton Heights (now known as Berwyn Heights). It is
possible that the dwelling was constructed by Edward Graves, the original platter of Charlton Heights, given the
$2,000 purchase price paid by Maggie B. Halfpenny in 1894. The Willards, a well-known family in Berwyn
Heights, owned the house for twenty-seven years beginning in 1909. Presumably, they made this house their
home, while owning several other properties in Berwyn Heights, most notably the Willard-Ryan House #2 at
5814 Quebec Street (PG: 67-022-04). The two Willard-Ryan Houses, which are sited on adjoining lots, were
nearly identical when constructed; thus it is believed the two houses were constructed at the same time, possibly
from the same mail-order plan or architectural design. Leo J. Ryan and Lorraine R. Ryan, the current owners,
have owned this property since 2002. The Ryans have owned the adjacent Willard-Ryan House #2 since 1979.
Although new dwellings of different architectural styles and eras have been added to the neighborhood, the
Willard-Ryan House #1 still retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance as a single-family dwelling
constructed during the first phase of the development of Berwyn Heights.
HISTORIC CONTEXT
The Willard-Ryan House #1 is located in present-day Berwyn Heights, which was subdivided by Edward
Graves. In 1887, Edward Graves of Washington, DC, purchased 393 acres between Branchville Road and the
Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad. He hired the firm Newby and Howell to survey and plat a subdivision on
his newly acquired land.1 Graves sold most of the land in 1888 to the Charlton Heights Improvement Company,
of which he was an incorporator, along with his uncle, Benjamin Charlton, as well as C.C. Ducanson, J.G.
Waugh, George Gibson, and R.M. Johnson.2 The company began construction of mail-order pattern houses in
what had been platted as Charlton Heights.3 Within the year, the company had almost twenty houses completed.

Quickly becoming a popular suburb, Charlton Heights was heavily promoted as a “modern suburban town of
the United States,” a “beautiful suburban retreat” and an “earthly paradise” with easy access to the District of
Columbia via a new Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station.4 By 1890, Charlton Heights contained a population of
“some of the leading people in every walk of life in this vicinity,” who “owing to the number of trains daily,
affording quick and easy transportation to the city of Washington…generally experience no difficulty in
reaching their desks in good time for any work they may be called upon to perform and for this reason they
never tire in sounding the praises of Charlton Heights as a desirable place of residence.” 5 In 1896, by an act of
the Maryland General Assembly, the town was incorporated as Berwyn Heights. 6 A two-block concentration of
dwellings from the first phase of development remains along Ruatan Street, between Berwyn Road and 60th
Avenue. Four of the oldest houses were constructed from mail-order plans with specifications produced by R.
W. Shoppell’s Cooperative Building Plan Association of New York City. 7 A second phase of construction
occurred in the 1920s, followed by the final period of development in the post-World War II years.
Edward Graves, a nephew of Benjamin Charlton, was born in Hancock, Maryland, in 1844.8 A well-respected
businessman in Washington DC, he served as president of the Havenner Baking Company, director of the
National Bank in Washington and of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company, as well as a member of
the Board of Trade. Six years after platting Charlton Heights, Edward Graves and his first wife, Avis, conveyed
the property at 5812 Quebec Street to Maggie B. Halfpenny of Washington, DC. Halfpenny, born in Virginia in
April 1870, purchased “lot numbered twenty-three (23) in Block numbered twenty-three (23) for a sum of
$2,000.”9 Given the purchase price, it can be assumed that a building was sited on this property at this time.
Further, the adjoining property at 5814 Quebec Street where the identical house stands was sold to Daniel
Birtwell, indicating both houses were erected as speculative development by Graves c. 1894. In the 1900
census, Maggie Halfpenny is listed as residing in Washington, DC with her husband, Richard Halfpenny. Born
in October 1869 in Vermont, Richard Halfpenny is noted as a printer at a DC printing office in the 1910
census.10 Thus, it is believed that the Halfpennys, like many of the neighboring property owners, used the
property at 5812 Quebec Street as rental property to provide additional income but never actually occupied the
dwelling.
In 1896, the Halfpennys conveyed the property to Anne S. Lynch, of Washington, DC. 11 Lynch was the widow
of the Honorable John Lynch, former president of the Potomac Terra Cotta Company and member of the United
States Congress from Maine for four terms.12 Anne Lynch and John B. Larner, serving as trustees for the estate
of John Lynch Sr., conveyed the property to John Lynch Jr. in 1900.13 Born in Maine in 1843, Lynch and his
wife Alice L. Lynch, resided in Washington, DC. Lynch was working for the federal government at the time of
the 1900 census.14
In 1900, John and Alice Lynch conveyed the property in Berwyn Heights to William and Georgeanna DeMott,
both of Berwyn, Maryland.15 William DeMott, a native New Yorker born in February 1838, was listed as a real
estate agent in the 1900 census and, like the previous owners, presumably never intended to live in the house.16

In 1901, the DeMotts conveyed the Willard-Ryan House #1 to Alverda L. Hughes.17 Hughes was born in
Maryland, in April 1853 and married Robert H. Hughes in 1884. At the time of the 1900 U.S. Federal Census,
the Hughes family, which included two children (Virgie M. and Robert H.E.), was residing in Washington,
DC.18 Robert Hughes was a police officer and a senior member of the general merchandise firm of Hughes &
Duvall of Branchville, Maryland.19
In 1909, Robert H. and Alverda L. Hughes conveyed the property to William H. and Margaret M. Willard.20
William Willard was an active member of the community, serving in 1919 as secretary of the Berwyn Heights
Company, an organization known for purchasing neighboring property, such as Sportsland Heights. 21 Born in
1862 in Pennsylvania, Willard was noted as living in Prince George’s County by 1910 and working as a
carpenter.22 By 1920, Willard was residing in Berwyn Heights with his wife, Margaret Mabel, and daughter,
Roberta.23 Initially working as a builder, Willard was noted in the 1930 U.S. Federal Census as a DC post office
clerk.24
In 1936, the Willards conveyed the property to Mary A.S. Murphy after twenty-seven years of ownership.25 A
resident of Berwyn Heights since 1909, William H. Willard would live in the community the remainder of his
life, celebrating his 100th birthday in 1962 at the home he shared with his daughter Roberta on Pontiac Street. 26
No information regarding Mary Murphy could be located. She conveyed the property to James Henry Roberts
and Jack H. Roberts, his wife, in 1938.27 No information regarding James Henry Roberts and Jack H. Roberts
could be located.
The Roberts held the property for six years before selling it to Edward W. Meier and his wife, Ethel M. Meier,
in 1944. No information regarding the Meiers was located. The Meiers conveyed the property to James N.
Pantazes and Anna Pantazes in 1962.28 The property remained within the Pantazes family until 1985, when it
sold to Stanley Hearn. No information regarding Stanley Hearn was located. The property changed hands once
more before being conveyed to the current owners, Leo J. Ryan and Lorraine Ryan. 29 The Ryans have owned
and occupied the nearly identical adjacent house at 5814 Quebec Street (Willard-Ryan House #2) since 1979.
The Willard-Ryan House #1 is used as rental property.
