13 Unit Building Near Eastern Market Goes on the Auction Block

by Larry Janezich

A 13 residential unit building at 133 7th Street, SE, across Independence Avenue from Eastern Market, will be sold at a bank auction on April 28.  According to one potential bidder, the building likely will become condos, though a resumption of its former life as an apartment building is not out of the question.  Given the trends and the location, CHC is betting on condos.

    I have often wondered about this clearly neglected property, in a prime spot.

    Is it currently occupied?

    I I have a good view of this building from my living room window and have often wonder why it is in such poor condition. It’s a beautiful old building in a great location. I’m happy to know that someone is finally going to do something with it.
