Capitol Hill Church Site Hits Market For $5.9M
A church building in the Stanton Park area of Capitol Hill has hit the market.
The building, at 609 Maryland Ave NE, was built in the 1890s as the Eastern Presbyterian Church. It has been home to various religious congregations in the years since, and was most recently purchased by Morning Star Community Development in 2015. The building carries a price tag of $5.9M and is being listed by TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, Urban Turf reports.
Several churches in the area have been tapped for redevelopment projects of late, including the Arlington Presbyterian Church at 3507 Columbia Pike. In December the Arlington County Board unanimously approved plans for an affordable housing complex with ground-floor retail. Over on the H Street corridor, S2 Development has plans for a four-story mixed-use building at 1301 H St NE, the former home of the St. John’s Church of God. [UT]
