CORRECTION: An earlier version of the post contained incomplete information for the property in the former Textile Museum. The listing is in three buildings, 2320-2330 S St. NW, not just at 2320 S St. NW. Also the property is 26,000 square feet, not 15,000.

We may not be Miami, New York or Beverly Hills, but the Washington area has its share of showcase houses.
