Description: The old Woodward & Lothrop Service Warehouse located at 131 M Street, NE in the NoMa neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Designed by Abbott, Merkt & Co. in 1937, the building is an example of Streamline Moderne architecture and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After the local department store company Woodward & Lothrop (known locally as Woodies) foundered in the 1990s, the warehouse sat vacant for several years. Re-development of the NoMa neighborhood has resulted in the warehouse becoming the new U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Headquarters and Washington Field Office (WFO).
