An 1853 engraving depicting President Franklin Pierce leaving the Willard Hotel.
In 1820, Joshua Tennyson leased the property at Pennsylvania Avenue and Fourteenth Street from Captain John Tayloe to run a hotel just a few blocks from the White House. Tayloe‘s block of two story buildings bordered the north side of the avenue. In 1850, Henry A. and Joseph C. Willard united the six original buildings under one facade.
The hotel was later rebuilt as a twelve-story, beaux-arts style structure in 1901. The New Willard Hotel was considered one of Washington’s first skyscrapers, and became the Willard InterContinental Washington in 1986.

Description
An account of the resource
The Willard InterContinental Washington has a long and storied history, dating back to 1816 when a row of two-story houses was first built on the corner of 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue and transformed into a hotel. In 1901, Joseph E. Willard built a Beaux-Arts “sky-scraper” at that site, soaring 160 feet high. He hired the architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, who was already well-known for designing New York’s Waldorf- Astoria Hotel.
American presidents have stayed and dined at the Willard, and Martin Luther King Jr’s famous I Have a Dream speech was penned there days before the march on Washington.
After a period of steep economic and urban decline in 1960s Washington, D.C., the building was in a terrible state of disrepair. The hotel was officially closed in 1968, and was slated for demolition, but in early 1974, the National Trust for Historic Preservation stepped in. On June 12, 1978, ownership of the Willard passed to the U.S. Government through the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation (PADC), which had been formed to clean up the neighborhood.
In 1986, the hotel reopened as the Willard InterContinental Washington.
