Bryan School Lofts

Located at 1315 Independence Ave SE, Washington, DC 20003 | Capitol Hill

Located in one of Washington, DC’s oldest neighborhoods, Bryan School Lofts is a great example of how developers have found ways to repurpose historic buildings into luxury condominiums. 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 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 entrances, each with labels carved in limestone pediments above the doorways.

Gleaming cherry hardwood floors, massive schoolhouse windows, open space living areas, fireplaces, and stunning gourmet kitchens with stone counters and custom cabinetry, all come together gloriously in a sublime luxury experience. The building is part of a larger complex called Bryan Square from the developer Abdo, that includes townhouses at the corner of Independence Avenue and 14th Street.
