McLean Gardens is a housing development built in 1942 as temporary housing for wartime defense workers on the former estate of newspaper publisher John R. McLean. In 1980, after a long battle by the tenants, who were able to secure the largest buy-out in DC history by a residents' association, the original 31 red brick apartment buildings converted to condominiums; nine original dormitory buildings had been destroyed in 1974–75. In the early 1980s, construction of a rental section began under a different limited partnership, eventually including both townhouses (called "The Village at McLean Gardens") and a nine-story luxury apartment building ("The Towers"). These units were registered as condominiums with the city so that they could be sold at a later date.at McLeanGardens.com That time came in 2006 with the establishment of "Vaughan Place."
