2403 I STREET NW

The brick house at the corner of I and 24th streets (2403 I St.) built in 1958 during the period of Foggy Bottom renovation. It replaced older row houses at both 2401 and 2403 I Street

During most of the area's history, some of these residential buildings were also used for commercial businesses that served the community. The owners often lived on the floor above the businesses. In 1914, Lew Nesline operated a saloon at 2401 I Street. In 1870, Thomas Calvin lived at 2401, in 1900 R. Lee Horton and in 1910, Owen E. Reed, saloon owner here but lived a few houses down.
