In 1921 Ruby H. Hall, a schoolteacher, replaced a bowling alley/pool room at 1353 H St. NE with a brick dwelling. Not long after, however, the building began a long history of commercial occupants: a furniture store from 1924 to 1979 or later, the H Street Collectors Mart (1990s), the Rock & Roll Hotel (2000s). It appears that the building was also used by the Robert O. Freeman Funeral Home.
NOTE: This is one of four commercial buildings I’ll be uploading fairly quickly. Interesting histories, I guess, but not particularly interesting buildings.
Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
