Medical Dental Building

The Medical Dental Building is a Gothic Revival office structure featuring pointed arches, steeply pitched roofs, and detailed stonework across its exterior and interior. The structure was designed to house medical and dental practices in its professional spaces.

The building emerged during a period when medical and dental practices were establishing themselves in Washington with dedicated professional spaces. It was later listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural and historical value.

The building reflects how medical and dental professions were valued in early 20th-century Washington through its architectural choices. Walking past it today, you can see how these practices shaped the city's professional identity.

The building is visible from the street and accessible as part of Washington's downtown landscape. You can view its architectural details and walk around the surrounding commercial district to appreciate the structure from different angles.

The building was originally designed to house multiple medical and dental practices under one roof, a concept that shaped its interior layout. The name still reflects this specialized past use, distinguishing it from other Gothic office buildings of its era.
