Army and Navy Club: 140 Years at 17th and I in DC

Six-story neoclassical 1912 Army and Navy Club building seen from the corner, with early automobiles parked along the curb

The Army and Navy Club has occupied the corner of 17th and I Streets NW since 1891. The current building opened in 1912. In 1987 Shalom Baranes gutted everything behind that 1912 facade and rebuilt the club around it. The facade survived. Almost nothing else did.
