The perfect use for a historic warehouse space |
52 O Street NW is located on a
one-block length of O Street just west of North Capitol Street, it was
built in 1914 on the site of a small coal and wood yard in what was then
a remote and industrial corner of downtown. The
building was designed by the German-born architect Clement Didden, who
had worked under Richard Morris Hunt in New York assisting in the design
of such landmarks as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Vanderbilt
estate in Ashville, North Carolina. Over the years, 52 O Street has been
home to a meat-packing warehouse, a plumbing company, a Hechts
furniture warehouse, and Decca Records, a premier record label. It
was in 1978 that Eric Rudd built out 52 O Street as a low-cost art
studios.

Rudd, a renowned sculptor now residing in North Adams,
Massachusetts, recognized the shortage of affordable studio space for
Washington artists. 52 O Street's warehouse structure was ideal for
conversion to art studios, since it offered open spaces, soaring
ceilings, and tremendous flexibility for arranging large and small
studios.
Thanks a lot for sharing with us such great information about event space. I will discuss about this with my family, as I want to organize my birthday. For that it will be best option for me!!!
