Occidental Hotel & Restaurant, 1411 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia, DC
Summary
Significance: The Occidental Hotel is an example of the architectural eclecticism that prevailed at the turn of the century as designers sought to reconcile advances in high rise technology with stylistic tradition. Its distinctive mansard roof echoing the adjacent Willard hotel; (DC-293) ornate balconies, and elaborate rustication combine with the more modern window treatment in the articulated facade, which is well scaled to its setting.
