Firemen`s Insurance Company Building, 303 Seventh St NorthweSt Washington, District of Columbia, DC
The Fireman`s Insurance Company began its operations in 1838 in downtown Washington, and settled at its present address in 1882. The structure exemplifies restrained Queen Anne detailing, lacking the richness and minuteness characteristic of the style. Instead the building uses volumetric complications; which adapt well to the corner site. It is visually enhanced by the Romanesque building to the east.
