From the National Register nomination

104-5144-0059 Single Dwelling, Stories 1.00, Style: Other, 1941 A singular example of its type in the District, 716 Lexington Avenue is a small, one-story, three-bay, common bond brick house that is distinguished by a sweeping metal roof porch that gracefully projects out of the side-gabled roof of the dwelling. Dorothy S. Marshall and her husband Orvall were given the property in 1940 by Dorothy's parents, John George and Sarah Alice Harbottle, who built the house next door at 712 Lexington and in which Dorothy Marshall spent her childhood. The Marshalls built this house a year after receiving the property, in 1941. The porch is at ground level and shades the central and south bay of the west-facing facade with its centrally placed door and single window occupying the south bay. Four square columns support the porch. The north bay of the facade has a single window. Both windows are six/six-sash. A brick chimney is attached to the south elevation and a one-story addition is attached to the rear of the dwelling. Individual Resource Status: Single Dwelling Contributing Total: 1
