History

The Romanesque Revival building was designed by Waddy Butler Wood in 1896.[2] It was built as a part of the conversion of Streetcars in Washington, D.C. to electric traction. In 1962, it was used to store buses. In 1973, the DC Transit Company was acquired by Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and the building was vacant. A private developer purchased the property and developed it into condominiums. [3]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 1974.

gollark: We are an intelligent species. Mostly. We can try and actively manage population and such.
gollark: > You breed maybe once or twiceActually, I may just not have children, it seems inconvenient and annoying.
gollark: My inability to visually imagine things is really helpful on the internet, honestly!
gollark: This very long conversation maaaaay have not really gotten anywhere and created/exposed some large divisions in the server, but oh well.
gollark: > and thus define human breeding as an inherent functionAnyway, you seem to just be defining it as one, and I'm not sure what you're trying to say by that beyond that having children... is a thing we can do, and one which evolution selects for to some degree. That doesn't make it *the right thing to do* all the time.
