History
The 2400 block of K Street was once the most prosperous section of what is now the Historic District.
It includes two salmon-colored brick buildings with projecting bays (originally Nos. 2424-2426, now marked No. 2430). They were built in 1885 for Louise A Veerhoff. They now serve as the Parish House for St. Paul's Church. No. 2426 has leaded glass in the lower narrow window on the right side of the house.
