  • Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists Have Gained the Upper Hand in Protecting Historic Buildings
    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists have gained the upper hand in protecting historic buildings. Now the ques- tion is whether examples of modern architecture— such as these three buildings —deserve the same respect as the great buildings of the past. By Larry Van Dyne The church at 16th and I streets in downtown DC does not match the usual images of a vi- sually appealing house of worship. It bears no resemblance to the picturesque churches of New England with their white clapboard and soaring steeples. And it has none of the robust stonework and stained-glass windows of a Gothic cathedral. The Third Church of Christ, Scientist, is modern architecture. Octagonal in shape, its walls rise 60 feet in roughcast concrete with only a couple of windows and a cantilevered carillon interrupting the gray façade. Surrounded by an empty plaza, it leaves the impression of a supersized piece of abstract sculpture. The church sits on a prime tract of land just north of the White House. The site is so valua- ble that a Washington-based real-estate company, ICG Properties, which owns an office building next door, has bought the land under the church and an adjacent building originally owned by the Christian Science home church in Boston. It hopes to cut a deal with the local church to tear down its sanctuary and fill the assembled site with a large office complex. The congregation, which consists of only a few dozen members, is eager to make the deal — hoping to occupy a new church inside the complex.

Present Owner/ Occupant: Today, the building is on land within the boundaries of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The clubhouse was built in the early 1900s by the Washington Canoe Club, and subsequently maintained by the Canoe Club membership. After a fire and life safety inspection revealed areas of concern, the National Park Service (NPS) closed the building in 2010.1 The boathouse was unoccupied from that time until early in 2013.
