Georgetown Car Barn, Office building and tram depot in Georgetown, United States
The Georgetown Car Barn features brick construction with four floors and large arched doorways that once allowed streetcars to enter the terminal building.
Construction began in 1895 after Congress authorized the Washington and Georgetown Railroad to establish a union passenger station at 36th and M Streets.
The building transformation from a streetcar facility to academic spaces reflects Georgetown University's commitment to preserving historical architecture while adapting to educational needs.
Georgetown University acquired the property for 70 million dollars in 2022, converting it into modern classrooms, offices, and conference spaces for students and faculty.
The excavation work during the building's construction created the adjacent stone steps that connect M Street to Prospect Street.
