The Historic Preservation Review Board approved the demolition of the Domino’s pizza take-out at 3255-3259 Prospect Street NW.
Two years ago, property owner Robert Elliott proposed a four-story residence with seven units that includes a rooftop pool and underground garage.
According to D.C. Curbed, the HPRB found that both pool and parking 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.” The Georgetown-Burleith Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC 2E) opposed the project due to its height and depth.
The residential plans have been reviewed by the Old Georgetown Board and the Commission of Fine Arts, which will again look on the plans, which changed over the years.
Elliott — who created the Georgetown Court complex, 3251 Prospect St. NW, with condos as well as retail and restaurant space, the best known being Cafe Milano and Peacock Cafe — is working with Georgetown architects Beyer Blinder Belle.
