Back in Oct. 2010 scuttlebutt was confirmed that the Brass Knob Warehouse was closing at 57 N St, NW in Truxton Circle. For those who never had the chance to check out the amazing warehouse you can see a bunch of photos I took in March 2009 here. It was a magical place to many.

They officially closed in Spring 2011. This is a huge property near a rapidly developing section of the city:

Work Begins on Long Vacant Building at North Cap & P Streets, NW

By Prince Of Petworth

Published March 8, 2012 at 4:00PM

Dear PoPville,

Yesterday and today, while biking to work, I noticed folks beginning reconstruction/renovation work on the retail building at the SW corner of North Capitol and P Streets. The building was obviously hit by a car many years ago . . . doing significant damage to the corner of the building. It’s been a vacant eyesore for many years and I’m hopeful that the building’s restoration might lead to a new non-bullet-proof-glass retail business on a depressing stretch of North Cap that’s dripping with potential.

Anyone hear any rumors of who may be moving in?
