Thanks to @JRogers202 for tweeting us the update:

post on Chapman Stables in #TruxtonCircle – it is now in the DC Inventory of Historic Sites – no razing”

From the Historic Preservation Review Board:

After careful consideration, the Historic Preservation Office recommends that the Board revise the boundaries of the proposed landmark application to include only the garage and stable building at 37-57 N Street, NW on Square 617 Lot 215, and that the Board designate the building a Historic Landmark to be entered into the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites. Staff recommends that the Board forward the nomination to the National Register with the identified revised boundaries. Staff further recommends that the property name be Chapman Coal Company Stable and Garage to more fully reflect the history of the property.

Dear PoPville,

Looks like Douglas Development and subcontractor McCullough Construction are close to breaking ground at 2221 14th Street NW, a 30-unit residential building with ground floor restaurant/retail at the corner of 14th & Florida, the former Latino Auto Sales lot. McCullough is the same group that brought us the Room & Board Building, so I have high hopes for the project. Douglas’ website says the building is going rental and will feature mostly one bedrooms and some studios.

New construction of a 6 story building featuring ground level retail/restaurant with the upper 5 levels featuring 30 apartment units. The building will also feature under ground parking for residents, balconies and bay windows.

Kinda like our now and then series, “Only ____ Years Ago” will feature photos from my archives that have changed drastically from a particular year. We will start with a bunch of changes from 2007. Let’s kick it off with 14th and T St, NW.  Anyone remember McKey’s Antiques?
