Police station (1900), now Station lofts

This historic police station on Capitol Hill was built in 1900 and converted to lofts in 2011.

According to The Washington Times in 2011:

“In the Station, homes have ceilings ranging from 12 to 18 feet high, exposed-brick walls, recessed lighting, 8-foot-tall solid wood doors, decorative trim around interior doors and windows, and baseboard molding. Each home has a two-story master suite and an open kitchen with upgraded appliances, honed-granite counters, custom-designed wood cabinets and undercabinet lighting. The baths have marble tile flooring, a frameless glass shower with subway-style marble tiling and multiple spray options, and elevated wood vanities with undermount sinks.”

The outside still looks like a turn-of-the-century police building... would be hard to believe there were fancy lofts inside if you didn't tell me. V

I could live here - so unique and love those high ceilings. Nicely captured Helen - so interesting to see these converted buildings V

The old building sure looks like a police station. I am not sure I would want to live here, though - might feel a bit confining! Very nice image. V

The facade gives no indication of how well the lofts are appointed. V
