After listening to almost two hours of testimony, the D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board postponed its decision to extend the historic designation of the Corcoran Gallery of Art to include most of its interior.

Some two dozen individuals attended the hearing on the D.C. Preservation League’s application to amend the building’s historic status. The iconic Beaux Arts building, designed by Ernest Flagg with a later wing by Charles Platt, was first designated historic in 1964. It joined the National Historic Registry in 1992.
