HPRB approves demolition of Georgetown Domino’s

In their latest meeting, the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB), approved the demolition of Georgetown’s Domino’s, located at 3255-3259 Prospect Street NW. The 1960s-constructed building will be replaced by a four-story, multi-unit residential building.

In July 2016, the number of residential units planned in the building dropped from 26 to seven. Each floor will have one or two units, ranging between roughly 1,700 square feet to approximately 3,350 square feet. Amenities will include a rooftop pool and underground parking with 15 spaces.

ANC 2E opposed the project due to its height and depth, but the HPRB found that both were not “especially problematic.” In a statement, the HPRB wrote, “Even if the building’s footprint were reduced, it would have substantially the same impact on the character of Prospect Street.”

From 2015 to 2016, the project was reviewed a half-dozen times by the Old Georgetown Board and the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA). The project will be further reviewed by the CFA.

The property owner is Elliott LLC with architects Beyer Blinder Belle.
