Designed by Charles Platt and originally known as "The Causeway", this house was purchased by Joseph Davies and his wife, Post heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. They first had a home on Foxhall Road before this house, which was named "Tregaron" after the Welsh village where Davies' ancestors were from. After their divorce, Davies kept the house for a while and Post developed her "Hillwood" property nearby.

It is now adaptively reused as for the Washington International School which added some academic buildings while maintaining the mansion.
