History
[edit]It was built in 1896 on a design by Paul J. Pelz, for the Swedenborgian-Colored congregation. In 1903, the Peoples Seventh Day Adventist moved in. They changed their name to Peoples Seventh Day Baptist Independent Church, in 1937. It was vacant in 1970.[2] It was designated a DC Historic Landmark in 2001 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 2009.[3] Architect and developer Sorg Associates bought the building for $1,300,000, in 2003, and announced plans to develop 39 condominiums on the parcel.[4]
In 2016, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced plans to convert the building into one of eight facilities for homeless around the District.[5]
