Building incorporates a 1950s 'Populuxe' aluminum facade.
Significance: 1008-10 F Street, NW, is comprised of two adjacent 19th century buildings clad in a 1950s Populuxe aluminum facade. This much altered building, constructed around 1870, is typical of many Washington downtown buildings that have been virtually razed through successive major alterations. Originally a pair of three-bay, four-story late 19th century brick buildings with rear ells, over the years the upper two floors of the buildings have been removed and reconstructed, rear ells demolished, and interiors rebuilt. The building was associated with the Walter family, who owned several lots within the block and who continued to own 1008-1010 through the late 1970s. During the mid-20th century 1008-10 F Street was joined with 523 Eleventh Street (HABS DC-800) around the corner to form one large rooming house. Although the building does not contribute to the significance of the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site, it was recorded because of its remaining interior fabric and its connection to 523 Eleventh Street.
