Tregaron Estate, a Georgian-style country house in Cleveland Park, Northwest Washington, D.C., was built in 1912 by architect Charles Adams Platt and landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman for original owners Alice and James Parmelee. The estate, formerly called "The Causeway," remained the Parmelees' residence until 1940. From 1942 to 1958, it was home to Joseph E. Davies, a former United States ambassador to multiple nations, and his wife Marjorie Merriweather Post, an heiress to the Post Cereal Company fortune. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property today serves as home to the Washington International School campus and the Tregaron Conservancy.
