Restaurant
Once the home of Engine Company 12, this firehouse was originally constructed in 1895 by architect, Snowden Ashford. It was commissioned by the North Capitol and Eckington Citizens Association to serve the Bloomingdale & Eckington neighborhoods and was noted for its “artistic architectural design.” It was officially commemorated on July 1, 1897 and housed generations of firemen for close to a century.
In 2013 we transformed this magnificent building into a first class contemporary American restaurant coupled with spacious and lavish event spaces. When you step into the Old Engine 12 Restaurant you instantly are enveloped in the history and elegance of this neighborhood landmark. From the brass fireman’s pole to the Captain’s Loft we have preserved the legacy and character of the original firehouse that once served here. Executive Chef Peter Prime has created a phenomenal contemporary American cuisine that extends from pizzas and burgers to seafood, barbecue and more.
