Notes
  • Significance: Originally constructed to serve the retail activities of a major local merchant, the Hecht Company Warehouse is an outstanding example of Art Deco (Streamline Modern) which stands as one of the major triumphs of inter-war modernism in Washington, D.C. The significance of the Hecht Company Warehouse is tied to its innovative Streamline Modern architecture, early and extensive use of glass block, and importance to the city's economic heritage.
