The site that is now the National Park Seminary Historic District was originally a wooded glen and tobacco plantation. It was developed in 1887 as a resort hotel designed by the noted Washington architect T. F. Schneider and known as Ye Forest Inne. When the hotel proved to be unsuccessful, John and Vesta Cassedy rented and later purchased the property to create, in 1894, National Park Seminary, a finishing school for young women. Most recently, in October 2004, The Alexander Company and EYA's plan to save all of the historic buildings, to add new townhouses in compatible styles, and to transform the Seminary into a unique residential community of apartments, condominiums, and single-family homes has been approved by local planning and historic preservation agencies.

GSA provides national leadership, policy direction, and standards in the areas of architecture, engineering, urban development, sustainable design, fine arts, historic preservation, construction services, and project management. To ensure a high standard of excellence for the American public, GSA engages the best private-sector architects and engineers to design, modernize existing, and construct new federal buildings through its internationally renowned Design and Construction Excellence Program. The Office of Design and Construction is responsible for providing national leadership and policy direction in the areas of architecture, engineering, urban development, construction services, and project management. The office also has programs in design and fine arts, historic preservation, border stations, and courthouses. The office is also responsible for interagency relations and national professional organization liaisons in the aforementioned disciplines. Additionally, it is responsible for developing standards of excellence for the planning and construction phases of capital projects. It is also accountable for facilitating project office success by providing the necessary support and training to the regions. Office success is measured by the delivery of on-time, on-budget projects that meet internal, external, and regulated specifications for construction planning, design, and implementation. Resource <a href="www.gsa.gov/designexcellence">Design Excellence Program:</a> To increase the understanding and appreciation of contemporary federal architecture and artworks and to educate both federal employees and the general public about the history and cultural heritage of the United States as reflected in the architecture and art of federal buildings, the Design Excellence Program organizes and produces publications, exhibits, films, forums, symposia, and interpretative materials. Significant buildings commissioned through the Design Excellence process are documented in an award-winning monograph series. An oral history program is underway to interview important public figures, architects, designers, and artists who have worked to inspire and nurture excellence in federal architecture. Plaques are installed and interpretive brochures are produced to accompany works of art and to give visitors to federal buildings biographies of artists and an insight into the meaning of artworks and how they were produced. Exhibits are organized and designed to make the works of art accessible. Online Library contains Monograph and Video Library. <a href="www.gsa.gov/architectureandengineering">Architecture & Engineering:</a> GSA establishes and maintains policies and criteria regarding architecture and engineering design practice and building technology, building systems, products, and materials based on the objectives established for the national capital program. GSA also manages national programs in such areas as sustainable design, workplace productivity, fire protection/life safety, and design and cost benchmarking. GSA participates on numerous federal interagency committees regarding design policies, national standard setting panels, code bodies, and other design and construction organizations. In addition, GSA provides outreach to governments, urban interest groups, cities and federal agencies on GSA's urban programs, policies, and best practices. <a href="www.gsa.gov/sdm">Spatial Data Management:</a> The Spatial Data Management (SDM) Program is GSA’s national effort to create, update, and maintain its spatial data and associated Computer Aided Design (CAD) floor plans to accurately reflect the national federally owned inventory. SDM CAD floor plans are the basis for the assignment data and square footage information that GSA uses for tenant rent bills. The creation and maintenance of drawings supports accurate rent bills for customer agencies. The SDM program also aids in the performance and utilization of each asset while identifying the most efficient and cost-effective way to house federal employees. The GSA Office of Portfolio Management provides national program support to the regional SDM programs through: <ul><li>Implementing the PBS Business Space Assignment Policy</li> <li>Maintaining SDM National Business Process Flows</li> <li>Coordinating significant SDM projects</li> </ul> Regional SDM programs reinforce efficient management of GSA’s real estate portfolio. Asset managers, realty specialists, and property managers must have accurate inventory and assignment information through the regional SDM programs. The SDM drawings produced under the national program provide a graphic record of the GSA building inventory and can also be used as a planning tool and reference for building projects. <a href="www.gsa.gov/artinarchitecture">Art in Architecture Program:</a> The Art in Architecture Program commissions American artists to create publicly scaled and permanently installed artworks for federal buildings nationwide. The incorporation of contemporary art within the nation's important civic spaces celebrates the best of American culture and exemplifies how democratic societies benefit immeasurably from the unique, creative talents of individual citizens. <a href="www.gsa.gov/finearts">Fine Arts Program:</a> The Fine Arts Program provides national leadership and expertise in fine art care and policy for GSA's Fine Arts Collection. The program seeks to manage the Fine Arts Collection at the highest ethical and stewardship standards and to contribute to creating high-quality federal buildings for federal employees and the public they serve. By preserving the legacy of federal art and the built environment, the Fine Arts Program fosters an appreciation of the importance of creative freedom and inspires future generations to add their expressions to American democracy. The Fine Arts Collection is one of our nation’s oldest and largest public art collections. It consists of permanently installed and moveable mural paintings, sculpture, architectural or environmental works of art, and works on paper dating from 1850 to the present. These civic works of art are in federal buildings and courthouses across the United States. In addition, more than 20,000 small moveable New Deal works of art are on long-term loan to museums and other nonprofit institutions.
