2617 Olive Older Than It Looks
The other day I noticed a nondescript little building I’d driven past hundreds of times but never payed attention to before. This day I was a pedestrian and it caught my eye.
The one story building at 2617 Olive is easy to overlook, halfway between Sam Light Loans and AT&T, it just disappears. From across Olive the storefront caught my eye.
Cast iron? At home I looked it up on city records and it says it was built in 1883! A 1907 Sanborn Fire Insurance map shows the building as being 3-stories in height and having a stone front, one of a group of eight such storefronts.
The point? None other than I found it interesting.

I used to ride my bike past that printer every day on the way to work. I always wondered what quality their business card stock was. I hadn’t thought twice about it since I moved to D.C.
Thanks for the memories.
