The Bazelon-McGovern House, built in 1957 in Washington, D.C., is a mid-century modern residence designed by Jean-Pierre Trouchaud that synthesizes modernist principles with Japanese architectural influences. Constructed of stucco, wood, tar, and gravel, the single-family home exemplifies the postwar period's experimental approach to residential design. The house is recognized as a significant example of its era, earning listing on both the National Register of Historic Places and the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites.
