Summary
| Description |
English: The Lansburgh Building (also known as the Julius Lansburgh Furniture Co., Inc. or Old Masonic Temple) located at 901 F Street, NW in the Penn Quarter neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The French Renaissance Revival building was designed by architects Cluss (Adolf Cluss) & Kammerheuber in 1867. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property to the Downtown Historic District. Currently, the Lansburgh serves as commercial space. A McCormick & Schmick's is located on the ground level.
The Julius Lansburgh Furniture Company purchased the Old Masonic Temple in 1921 and gradually remodeled the interior by replacing the ground-floor facade with large plate-glass display windows and removing or covering much of the original cast-iron ornamentation to lower maintenance costs. After Lansburgh's closed in 1970, the building sat vacant for thirty years, crumbling even as preservationists fought to save it from a 1979 demolition. The building received a new lease on life in 2000 as the carefully restored Washington headquarters of the Gallup Organization.
