[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this property is federally owned then it must go thru Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.  Anyone want to pursue it?  Go to ACHP.gov and see which staff member has responsibility for th Department of State, and contact them.[/quote]

The land seems to be federally owned while the building is owned by an LLC which is actually 601W Companies. I see no evidence that it was sold to Whittle.

The Fine arts Commission (A Federal Body) hears the case because the site is covered by the Shipstead Luce Act. Look at property quest or a map of the Shipstead Luce Act area, and this is clear. https://propertyquest.dc.gov/ If they think they are a foreign mission still, that does not help, the Act also applies to foreign missions.

They do also need to go to DC's Historic Preservation Office, and probably to a public hearing with the Historic Preservation Review Board.  But once they have done the rounds of review at the federal level, and get the approvals that they need there, then it will be smoother at the DC level. But that process is probably at least 6 months. [/quote]
