HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY
A standalone two-story residence at 2715 N Street NW was constructed in the early 1800’s. It was surrounded by lush gardens on all sides when it was purchased by the presidentially decorated astronomer Asaph Hall in 1868. While he and his family were living at the residence, he accomplished his best-known achievement of discovering the two moons of Mars, Deimos and Phobos, in 1877. Hall, his wife Angeline, and their four children resided in the home for nearly forty years. During their residency, the Halls added a third story to their home and extensively modified its architecture to embody the Italianate style, many elements of which remain today. The adjoining structure at 2709 N Street NW was built in 1909, and the property became home to the historic Alexander Memorial Baptist Church for more than a century, until it was converted in the expansive luxury condominium residences it is today. Both structures were gutted and rebuilt in the conversion, adding a new floor within the sanctuary space of 2709 to allow for a second story.
