Rosedale, also known as the Uriah Forrest House, is an historic home, located at 3501 Newark Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Cleveland Park neighborhood.
History
It was built in 1793 by Revolutionary War Colonel Uriah Forrest, thus making it the oldest home in Cleveland Park. A small stone cottage constructed in 1740 was incorporated into the house. Rosedale was owned by Forrest descendents until 1920. In 1920, it was purchased by Avery Coonley, owner of Frank Lloyd Wright's Coonley House.
The house was rented to the Undersecretary of State, William Phillips in 1933, and to John N. Irwin, II in 1959. It was a faculty residence for the National Cathedral School. In 1977, the youth exchange organization Youth For Understanding bought the premises.[2] YFU sold Rosedale to The Rosedale Conservancy, a local trust, in 2002.
Rosedale is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a contributing property to the Cleveland Park Historic District.[3]
