Hecht Company Warehouse

The Hecht Company Warehouse, located in Washington, D.C., is a notable example of Streamline Moderne architecture, designed by engineer Gilbert V. Steel in 1937. This historic building, characterized by its extensive use of glass block and a striking twelve-pointed star-shaped cupola, served as the central warehouse for The Hecht Company until its rehabilitation in 1992. Today, it is undergoing redevelopment into the Hecht Warehouse District, which will feature a mix of retail and residential spaces, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
