An Iconic House Is Reborn: The History of 9 Chevy Chase Circle

The architectural centerpiece of historic Chevy Chase has been meticulously restored
after years of neglect. Completed in 1893, the mansion at 9 Chevy Chase Circle was one of the first grand houses designed for the new streetcar suburb of Chevy Chase. Founder Francis Newlands was the first resident, followed by entrepreneur William S. Corby and then five mostly absent owners. New owner Adrienne Arsht recognized the deteriorating house’s potential when she purchased the property in 2020 and undertook a comprehensive restoration of the house and grounds. Ms. Arsht and her new home received a Montgomery Preservation Inc. Historic Preservation Award in 2021.

Zoom in on March 16 and learn about the storied history of the house from two representatives of EHT Traceries, the firm that produced a comprehensive house history for the new owner. Emily Hotaling Eig, founder and president of EHT Traceries, will be joined by one of the firm’s architectural historians, John Gentry.
