Washington, DC Franklin School

One of the first public schools in the United States. Designed by Adolph Cluss in 1869. It is on the National Register #73002085, and also a National Historic Landmark.

 

Can you believe this building is mostly vacant yet sits on Franklin Square in one of the busiest neighborhoods in DC.

 

This was on the DC Preservation League 10 Most Endangered Places in 2004. And its interior made the list in 2007. Somebody adaptively reuse this building please!
