The historic property, known as Chapman Stables, is at 57 N St. NW on a block filled with rowhouses three blocks from the NoMa Metro station.
Developer John Su nter, who is backed by firm FourPoints, plans to present the proposal to the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) for approval in late May.
Current plans call for about 110 apartments, with a combination of one and two bedrooms, said Stan Voudrie, principal of FourPoints. About 60 parking spaces would be built underground. One floor would be added to the two-story stables fronting N Street NW, while a larger five-story addition would be added to the back, on what is currently an empty lot. Studio 27 Architecture designed the plans.

The site had been a coal yard with stables in the early 1900s. Chapman Stable and Garage then transitioned with the times into a car and bus garage. In 2013, the DC Preservation League successfully made a case to the HPRB to enter the site into the city’s Inventory of Historic Sites, saving the crumbling garage and stable from a planned demolition.

This site was an Art Studio for over 30 years at 57 N street, NW. Located in the Truxton Circle Area, residents are surprised that this Historic site developers plan would heighten t
and change this historic building and bring more cars and very few additional parking spaces to the neighborhood.
The article clearly states the building would add a 60 parking spot garage.
