Warder
Benjamin H. Warder was president of Warder, Bushnell & Glessner Company, a major manufacturer of farm machinery. In 1902, it was one of five companies merged to form International Harvester.
In 1885, Warder hired Boston architect H. H. Richardson to design his house at 1515 K Street NW. Richardson died in 1886, but his firm completed the house in 1888. Warder died in 1894, and his widow occupied the house until 1921.
