[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Landmark application would need to specify interior designation. Unless that is the case, the status of any landmarking would have zero impact on interior work.[/quote]

I cannot work out if they are also asking for protections for interior features. Here is the application for Landmark Status from the Department of Planning web site. The application focuses on architecture and engineering and I could not see anything on any interior features except where they relate to the architecture and engineering.  So no historically important wallpaper!

The Landmark status could well limit what they do the interior as it means the form and structures of the building need to be preserved, but without knowing what that they planned to do exactly I cannot say if that would cause any problem beside the long delay.

“We feel we have this incredible, iconic building at 4000 Connecticut Ave.,” Pascal said. “It’s one of the few buildings in this city where the inside factors are even cooler than it is from the outside.”

That was only the broker for the owners, not an architectural historian, but still, this suggests to me some interior preservation would be at least requested.

And there does seem to be a CFA protection for 3400 International Drive.  I cannot see where DCRA has posted online the stop work order. [/quote]
