The bryan School Lofts - modern loft condos in washington, dc

Modern Condominium Living at the historic Bryan School Lofts on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC

Located at 1315 Independence Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20003, the Bryan School Lofts is a great example of how developers have found novel ways to repurpose historic buildings into luxury condominiums. Situated in one of Washington, DC’s oldest neighborhoods, the project successfully blends new and vintage elements, while also having a great story to tell. The handsome brick structure between Kentucky Avenue and 14th Street SE was built in 1906 as the Thomas Barbour Bryan Elementary School. Today, the little red schoolhouse is home to 20 highly attractive dwellings with soaring ceilings and exposed elements such as brick walls and overhead ductwork. The Capitol Hill location is also noteworthy, providing quick and easy access to the nation's corridors of political power as well as shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.

The historic schoolhouse on Capitol Hill stood vacant for approximately 20 years before its transformation to loft condos in 2004. A fascinating combination of old and new includes artifacts from the past such as separate Girls and Boys entrances, each with labels carved in limestone pediments above the doorways.
