2513 I STREET NW

This two family brick house was built by Spink Construction Company in 1925. It has two front entry doors (both stairways and with transom windows). At one time, the house was divided into rental units and both doors were needed to gain access, but it is currently a single family house. It is two stories with a metal roof over a large wooden bay window.

In 1966, architect Melita Rodeck and builder Jerry Fitzgerald renovated the house. Rodeck was known for restoring 801 25th St. and designing Queen Anne's Lane, as well as many other projects in the city. She added a bay window to complement the one next door at 2511 I St., and balanced it with Federal entrances and iron steps.
