1626 North Capitol Street NW
Snowden Ashford designed the Colonial Revival-style fire station at 1626 North Capitol Street NW (map), which opened in 1897. After the firehouse company moved in 1987, the building went fallow in 1992 and then spent several years vacant and between renovations until the owners of Shaw’s Tavern reopened the property as Old Engine 12 Restaurant in 2013.
