Summary[edit]

Description
English: Looking north along 15th Street NW at Metropolitan Square in Washington, D.C., in the United States. Metropolitan Square (white building with green Mansard roof, center) is a 12-story hotel and office building complex that occupies the entire block between F and G Streets NW and 14th and 15th Streets NW (due east across the street from the United States Treasury Building). The complex was proposed in November 1977 by developer Oliver T. Carr. After several years of legal battles, Carr agreed to retain the Beaux Arts western facades of the Keith-Albee Building and the Metropolitan National Bank Building. Rhodes Tavern was razed. Carr retained architect Vlastimil Koubek to design the new building behind the facade, and hired the New York City firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill as consulting architects. Construction on the new building began in 1980. To the right of the image is the W Hotel (1515 15th Street NW), a Beaux Arts hotel constructed in 1917.
