The McLachlen Building is a historic structure located in Downtown Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1985, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

History

The building was built to house a family-run bank that was organized in 1887, and was developed through a real estate investment partnership.^[2] It was built from 1910 to 1911 and was altered in a renovation from 1988 to 1989. The banking room, which is still in existence, is on the main floor of the building and has rental office spaces above.
