1308 F St Northwest (Commercial Building), Washington, District of Columbia, DC
Built between 1854 and 1858 (D.C. Tax and Assessment Records, National Archives), this building is the oldest existing structure on the south side of this block of F Street. The building is typical of the small, mid-nineteenth century masonry structures of the Pennsylvania Avenue Historic District and Washington`s old downtown. It forms a link in the chain of varied commercial buildings which enliven the F Street business district. The facade`s metal window hoods and cornice are large in scale and a grad gesture or an otherwise modest building.
