Shuttered Mount Pleasant Church Becoming Condos


The Meridian Hill Church building at 3146 Mount Pleasant Street NW is closer to being converted into condominium units. The church building was damaged beyond use during the fire that started in the Deauville Apartments building in 2008. They Deauville was recently rebuilt and has reopened as the Monseñor Romero Apartments.

Urban Turf is reporting that the DC Historic Preservation Review Board has provided final approved for the church to condos project (PDF). Urban Turf's post notes that the new project will be comprised of 70 condos. The project developer, Valor, indicates 85 units. They're also calling the project "The McIntyre." In addition to renovating the current structure, a narrow tower will be build on the southern and western sides of the property.

The congregation that previously made up Meridian Hill Church still meets. Then new location is just over the District line in Capitol Heights, Maryland.
