HPRB ACTIONS
July 22 and July 29, 2021
The Historic Preservation Review
Board met and considered the following items.
JULY 22 MEETING
Present for the meeting were:
Marnique Heath, Chair; Andrew Aurbach, Carisa Stanley Beatty, Matt Bell,
Linda Greene, Alexandra Jones, Sandra Jowers-Barber. Absent: Outerbridge
Horsey, Gretchen Pfaehler.
AGENDA
MOUNT VERNON SQUARE HISTORIC
DISTRICT
1120 6th Street NW, HPA 21-362,
concept/two-story rear addition, install iron stairs at front.
The Board found the two-story
rear addition to be compatible with the character of 1120 6th Street NW and the
historic district, and that final approval be delegated to staff, but
determined that the proposed front window alteration and stair to be
incompatible. Vote: 5-0. (Bell, Greene absent)
ANACOSTIA HISTORIC DISTRICT
2216 Martin Luther King Jr.
Avenue SE, HPA 21-372, concept/three-story rear addition with roof deck.
The case was deferred due to the
applicants not being present and the ANC reporting that they had not been
contacted or consulted.
2004 14th Street SE, HPA 21-316,
concept/new construction of two-story house.
The Board found the proposal for
new construction to be compatible with the historic district and delegated
final review to staff. Vote: 5-0. (Bell abstained, Greene absent).
KINGMAN PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
Triangle Park bounded by D
Street, 21st Street, and Oklahoma Avenue NE, HPA 21-435, concept/install
benches and historical panels.
The Board approved the idea of an
art installation in Kingman Park triangle park but raised several design and
maintenance issues; it encouraged the applicants to consider should the project
receive its funding through CAH. The Board asked that the project return
to HPRB for further review. Vote: 7-0
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE/SHERIDAN
KALORAMA HISTORIC DISTRICTS
2400-2406 Massachusetts Avenue
NW, HPA 21-433, concept/ demolition of contributing building (2400); construct
three-story addition to 2406.
The Board make the following
findings: (1) While modest and compromised in its design, 2400 Massachusetts
Avenue is a contributing building to the Massachusetts Avenue and Sheridan
Kalorama historic districts, and demolition is not a treatment that is
substantially compliant with the city’s preservation act; (2) the proposed
addition is compatible in its general form and materials with the
historic districts, but in its precise replication of the features
and detailing of 2406 Massachusetts, it is not substantially compliant with
federal or local guidelines for additions to historic buildings and should be modified
to be differentiated and distinguishable. If the project is approved by the
FMBZA, the HPRB asked that the order include a condition that the applicants
continue to work with HPO on final refinements to the design. Vote: 6-0.
CAPITOL HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT
810 C Street NE, HPA 21-416,
permit/new construction of rowhouse.
This case deferred to the
September hearing date at the request of the ANC.
607 E Street SE, HPA 21-420,
concept/add second story to existing one-story addition.
The Board found the project to be
compatible with the Capitol Hill Historic District, and delegated final
approval to staff. Vote: 6-0.
JULY 29 MEETING
Present for the meeting were:
Marnique Heath, Chair; Andrew Aurbach, Carisa Stanley Beatty, Matt Bell, Linda
Greene, Alexandra Jones, Sandra Jowers-Barber, Gretchen Pfaehler. Absent:

BLOOMINGDALE HISTORIC DISTRICT
2401-2405 1st Street NW, HPA
21-274, concept/subdivide into three lots, remove exterior stair, construct
townhouses on two new lots.
The Board found the general
concept for subdivision to be compatible on the condition that the western-most
“unit 1” house be pulled east at least 5 feet behind the rear of 2405.
The Board approved the location and size of the two-story enclosed stair on the
rear of 2405 but asked for more detailed plans and a plan for the treatment of
needed repairs to the exposed side elevation when the current side stair is
removed. The revised subdivision and alteration plans should return to
the Board when ready. Vote: 7-0.
MOUNT PLEASANT HISTORIC DISTRICT
1710 Irving Street NW, HPA
21-414, concept/construct two-story garage at alley.
The Board did not approve the
concept, finding the proposed two-story garage in this location to be incompatible
with the character of the Mount Pleasant Historic District. Vote:
6-2.
GEORGETOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT
1517 Wisconsin Avenue NW, HPA
21-393, concept/three-story rear addition.
The Board approved the concept
and delegated further review to staff, with the conditions that: 1) structural
demolition and exterior alterations at the main block be kept to a minimum; 2)
the addition attach to the main block below its eave; 3) the exposed walls of
the addition be clad in a brick to be approved by staff. Vote: 8-0.
U STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT
2005 11th Street NW, HPA 21-364,
revised concept/new construction of six-story residential building.
The Board found the revised
concept compatible with the character of the U Street Historic District, on the
condition that the applicant continue to work with staff on the design of the
fifth floor windows and the south elevation, and exploring how the non-masonry
elevations can be made quieter either through the elimination of the trim
boards or other means. Vote: 8-0
1457 Swann Street NW, HPA 21-417,
concept/two-story plus penthouse rear addition.
The Board found the scale and
massing of the concept compatible with the character of the U Street Historic
District and delegated final review and approval to staff. Vote: 8-0
CONSENT CALENDAR
The Consent Calendar was approved
by HPRB on July 22 by a vote of 5-0.
DUPONT CIRCLE HISTORIC DISTRICT
1775 Swann Street NW, HPA 21-367,
revised concept/new construction.
The Board considered the letters
received expressing concerns about the project but reaffirmed that it found the
concept compatible at the previous meeting and that its recommendation that the
applicants continue working with the community and ANC to be a recommendation,
not a requirement.
CAPITOL HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT
232 10th Street SE, HPA 21-272,
concept/three-story rear and roof addition, roof deck, remove garage.
The Board considered the letter
of opposition it received but determined that the proposed addition was
compatible with the historic district and the objection needed to be considered
by the BZA as part of the hearing for special exception relief.
