[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no reason from a preservation or historic standpoint to preserve Fannie Mae facade. It is generic at best. It doesn't represent the era it was built in and is a poor copy of the era it aped.[/quote] In fact, many of the press articles call the Fannie Mae building "iconic." It's certainly one of a kind architecture in Washington and there's a lot of interest in DC preservation circles to protect it. That would certainly leave room for adaptive reuse and development -- as offices, housing, hotel, etc. And there would likely to be a lot more local opposition over tearing the FM HQ down and bulldozing the lawns, than any pushback Sidwell Friends will ever face with its plans. Certainly the building next door to the FM HQ is not a very promising example of redevelopment.[/quote]
