Myer and eleven located at Ft. McNair) consist of three separate styles of buildings, which all have historic character-defining features such as original brick and mortar, original stairwells and millwork, original doors, and slate roofs. Repairs are to be by replacement of new materials unless designated as a historic feature to retain (exterior Flemish-bond brick façade, columns, window trip, doors, stairwells, trim, etc.).
