Theodore Roosevelt was sitting one block away in the White House in 1907, when 740 Fifteenth Street delivered. The Neo-Classical Revival style building was designed by Wood, Donn and Deming, the District’s most prominent architectural practice of the time, and was constructed to accommodate a bank on the street level and eight floors of office space. Composed of concrete and Carnegie Steel, 740 Fifteenth’s exterior walls are clad with granite from Mt. Airy, North Carolina and it’s Corinthian columned facade symbolizes the strength of D.C.’s Financial District during the time of its construction. 740 Fifteenth has anchored the corner of Fifteenth and H Street Northwest through economic expansions and recessions, 20 Presidents, four owners and several expansions that have elevated its distinguished presence. With interior renovations that have enhanced 740 Fifteenth’s historic qualities and timeless appeal, the building continues to stand as an iconic piece of America’s history.
