ABSTRACT
Her projects in Washington include the E Street Expressway, office buildings, and residential communities. Smith managed the unequaled feat of securing commissions from three different developers to build three of the four office buildings at a prominent intersection in a major American city: the corner of Connecticut Avenue and L Street in Washington, D.C. Although they are competent modernist designs, the three corporate structures at Chloethiel’s corner, as it is affectionately known, do not reflect Smith’s best work. Her most inspired designs and those for which she is best known are her residential communities. Among these are two that helped to revive southwest Washington: Capitol Park and Harbour Square.
