While the Whyland is not specifically mentioned in the Historic District's profiles for specific exemplary buildings, it is a contributing building. An excerpt for the historic district's significance can be found on page 2:
The Dupont Circle Historic District is a primarily residential district extending generally in all directions from Dupont Circle. The area was developed in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century. Two types of housing predominate in the historic district: palatial mansions and freestanding residences built in the styles popular between 1895 and 1910; and three- and four-story rowhouses, many of which are variations on the Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque Revival styles, primarily built before the turn of the century. The mansions line the broad, tree-lined diagonal avenues that intersect the Circle and the rowhouses line the grid streets of the historic district. This juxtaposition of house type and street pattern gives-the area a unique character among Washington neighborhoods.(Submitted on August 30, 2023, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
