Barracks Row’s Homebody to Relocate Across from Eastern Market in September

by Larry Janezich

Henriette Fourcade, owner of Homebody, the popular contemporary living retail outlet on Barracks Row, has announced the store will relocate to the lower level of Forecast, the women’s clothes boutique, at 218 7th Street across from Eastern Market.  Fourcade will be out of her current location by August 1, and hopes to open across from Eastern Market by September 1.

Homebody is closing the Barracks Row location at 715 8th Street, SE, to make way for a sister restaurant to Rose’s Luxury.

Fourcade says that Forecast’s owner, Debbie Danielson, called her yesterday and told her she could not imagine Homebody going out of business, and offered Forecast’s lower half to Fourcade.  Homebody’s owner has been seeking space to relocate since February, when she learned her lease on the space would not be renewed.

    Thank you Debbie! How wonderful that, thaks to you, Homebody will set up home in such a wonderful space. We will miss the incredible, eclectic items that make up the lower floor of Forecast… though sure some of them will find their way into the Homebody inventory.

  2. GREAT NEWS! And a perfect match!

    Great. Homebody has some really good stuff – I have gotten several presents for a friend – so I was going to be disappointed to see them go if they couldn’t find a new place.

    This is what makes the hill such a special place. So happy for Henriette and the community.
