Manhattan Laundry
The annual Bricks & Mortar Ball features open bar, hors d’oeuvres and dancing to the Blue Tips Rhythm Review at the historic Manhattan Laundry. The event benefits the DC Preservation League, Washington’s only citywide nonprofit solely dedicated to the preservation and protection of the historic resources of our nation’s capital.
Venue Description:
Manhattan Laundry is a complex that originally housed the traction facility for a streetcar company. The oldest building on the site was built in 1877. The complex became a printing plant in 1892 and it was converted into a laundry in 1905. The site represents the expansion of Washington’s urban core and industrial development along the city’s edge at Florida Avenue. The historic complex is primed for an adaptive reuse of office and retail.
