Warder Mansion is located on 16th Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., about 1.5 miles north of the White House. An early example of preservation commitment, the Warder-Totten house was for years one of the city's most egregious examples of demolition-by-neglect.

In 1923, Washington architect George Oakley Totten reconstructed the Benjamin Warder House, originally built by H. H. Richardson in 1886 at 15th and K Streets NW, on its present Meridian Hill site. Totten used all of the original exterior stone (except the main doorway) and much of the interior woodwork. This site was listed on the D.C. Inventory in 1964 and on the National Register in 1972.

Privately owned and vacant for more than a dozen years, this architectural landmark had been virtually reduced to a shell, and was placed on the League's Most Endangered Places List on 1996.

The Warder Mansion has since been renovated and has been split into 38 individual one and two bedroom apartments.
