Recently CAG hosted a meeting at the CAG office withA 20 concerned neighbors and ANC2E Commissioner Monica Roache regarding new developments at the former Georgetown Residence at 2512 Q St. The building, where many Georgetowners spent their final years, is being converted into a short-term rental apartment with a minimum rental term of 30 days. The owner, Holladay Properties, has terminated the occupancy of the retired tenants to permit renovation of the 96 units in the building. We understand that the owner has offered to readmit the retirees once the renovations have been completed, but there will be no kitchen or food service within the building.

The property merits designation under National Register Criteria A and C and District of Columbia Criteria B (“History”) and D (“Architecture and Urbanism”) as one of the of the best examples of a streetcar depot and barn built or extant in Washington and perhaps the most important of them all. The majority of Washington’s streetcar barns and stables have been destroyed in whole or in greater part. This is one of perhaps eight terminals that remain, some of which date much later and are more closely associated with bus storage. It is a handsome and imposing station, unique in that it initially accommodated three independent streetcar lines that served the District and northern Virginia and that employed both cable and electric propulsion. It tells the story of the conversion of streetcars from horse to cable to electric propulsion.
