In 1962, to serve the needs of the
constantly growing metropolitan
area, Gawler's moved into its
present funeral home. This
three-story building was designed
by Architect Arthur L. Anderson,
A.I.A., with Don D. McAfee &
Associate, A.I.D., handling interior
decorations. A classic Georgian
building of brick construction,
Galwer's is situated on an acre tract
of land at Wisconsin Avenue and
Harrison Street in Northwest
Washington. Private parking for
over 100 cars is also provided.
In 2003 Joseph Gawler's Sons,
Inc. took on an extensive three
stage renovation project led by
Freeman and Associates, Inc. of
Dallas, Texas. The renovation
project aimed at maintaining the
classic, comfortable feel of Joseph
Gawler's Sons while updating and
refurbishing many of the intricate
pieces of furniture and history
throughout the building.
