About This Home
As of November 2024This remarkable church property is a designated historic landmark in the heart of the Sixteenth Street Historic District. With its incredible architecture and dynamic Dupont-Logan location, it is an exciting opportunity for a new congregation, residential development or limited business uses per the RA-4 zoning (such as a school or art gallery). The Sanctuary building with a soaring 44+ foot vaulted ceiling was designed in the Gothic Revival style by renowned architect Langford Warren; the 1894-1896 construction was supervised by Paul J. Pelz, best known as the main architect of the Library of Congress. The stunning stained-glass windows include one from the Tiffany & Co studios; no changes can be made to the windows nor the building exteriors because of the historic status and zoning. The three-level Parish House (South Wing) was added by the same architectural team in 1912. The total building area is 16,150 estimated square feet with a lot size of 9,860 square feet. This active Swedenborgian church has an estimated seating capacity in the Sanctuary of 340; the South Wing has large and smaller meeting rooms for gatherings and services. There were major renovation projects during 2018-2022 including extensive tower repair work, two new 200 amp electric panels, new boilers for radiator heat and the addition of air conditioning (CAC in the Sanctuary and wall AC split units in the South Wing). Off the 16th Street front driveway find parking for up to five cars; there's a wide alley from Corcoran Street at the rear door.
