If you’re in Franklin Square waiting on a food truck to make your lunch, you may glance at this but now won’t have to wonder what the story is behind the boarded, brick Franklin School. Dreamed up by architect Adolf Cluss and opened in 1865, this pre-20th century monolith presented a dreamy gingerbread house style exterior to the District while inside there were wide open spaces, sunlight and prominent ventilation (starting to sound like your ideal apartment?) in hopes of creating a modern school building.

Ah, home ownership in The District, the dream of everyone who seeks to establish their home base in Francis Underwood’s playground. From the 22 year old skinny jean wearing 10th Street hipster, to the 28 year old Congressional Legislative Director, we all want to solidify our DC cred by paying way too much money for way too little square footage.
