1611 16th Street, NW
Update from a Threads follower: “It was bought by another church! To use as a church.” Will add more when we learn the name of the church that bought it.
Thanks to Fred for sending: “This “Under Contract” sign went up this morning, with no prior “For Sale” sign, for the church at the corner of Corcoran and 16th NW. The listing is here. The Church was listed for:
“$5,000,000
This stunning Dupont Circle church property is an exciting opportunity for a new congregation, residential development or some special exception uses per the RA-4 zoning. The Sanctuary building was designed in the Gothic Revival style by renowned architect H. Langford Warren (founder of the School of Architecture at Harvard University); the 1894-1896 construction was supervised by Paul J. Pelz, best known as the main architect of the Library of Congress. The three-level South Wing was added in 1912. Prominently located at the corner of 16th and Corcoran Streets NW, the total building area is estimated at 16,150 square feet with a lot size of 9,860 square feet; see docs for the existing floor plans. Off the front driveway find parking for five cars. This active Swedenborgian church has an estimated seating capacity in the Sanctuary of 340; the South Wing has large and small meeting rooms for various gatherings and services. This wonderful Dupont-Logan location offers a unique residential development opportunity. See documents for conceptual condo floor plans from Bonstra/Haresign Architects.”
Stay tuned.
