Claremont History & Neighborhoods Nearby
According to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, local developer Gerald A. Freed designed Claremont with architects Allan F. Kamstra and Albert D. Lueders. Two-story Colonial Revival houses and one-and-a-half-story Cape Cods went up from 1946 to 1949, and in 1954 Freed added a last section of 36 ranch houses, reflecting how home styles were changing in the 1950s.
The state notes that Claremont was one of only a few subdivisions of all wood-frame houses built in the Washington area in the World War II era. The Claremont Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.
