History
The residence is attributed to William Lovering and was completed around 1794.[2] During the early 20th century, it served as the Barney Neighborhood House, a home for poor women that worked to improve cultural awareness among the working class.[3] John Neligh, the director of industrial crafts at Barney Neighborhood House, also owned 1315 4th Street SW (part of Wheat Row). It was listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites in 1964 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is now part of the Harbour Square cooperative.
