Sheridan Garage

From http://www.westendguide.us/sgarage0504.htm:



After more than ten years of planning, the Sheridan Garage, at 2518 Q Street in Georgetown, will be developed into 30 or 31 luxury condominiums. The architectural plan, which would add a third story and two related buildings, received concept approval from the Old Georgetown Board (OGB) and the Commission of Fine Arts at their April meetings.

The industrial building was constructed in 1922 as an auto repair facility and is set back about 60 feet from Q Street in the northeast corner of Georgetown. (The building is located at the A6 section of the map on pages 16 and 17). It was named after Civil War General Philip Sheridan, whose statue had been placed at what is now Sheridan Circle, not far away across Rock Creek, in 1908.

The garage was used as a public repair facility until World War II. It was purchased in 1949 by the Army Times Publishing Company and was leased in 1956 to the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company to store and service trucks. AT&T continued the lease until the early 1990s. But the building has now been vacant for more than a dozen years.
