471 H Street NW

Chinatown

Wall Street Funding refiled plans with DC's Historic Preservation Office this month to convert two rowhouses at 471-473 H Street NW into an 11-story, 46-unit affordable development. The facades of the rowhouses would be restored while the rear addition at 471 H Street NW and a portion of the main structure would be removed, and a new L-shaped addition would be constructed at the rear of the property. Aggregate Architecture and Design is designing the conversion, which was originally pitched back in October. The H Street rowhouses are over a century old and part of the Capitol Historic Trust Easement. They were last occupied by a law firm but have been vacant for several years. The proposed development will likely go before the Historic Preservation Review Board in the coming weeks.
