| | D.C. Preservation League: Major Issues |
 | | The D.C. Preservation League has a long-standing agreement with the developers of Square 488, a block that borders on the west side of Judiciary Square, NW, and is bounded by Fifth Street on the east, Sixth Street on the west, E Street on the south, and F Street on the north. |
 | | This square has a "Brutalist" firehouse on its northwest corner and is just across F Street from the Metro Center building, which is executed in the same style. |
 | | As with Square 488, however, the challenge is creating a design concept that relates well to preservation elements, maintains a sense of the historic nature of this side of the F Street block, and creates a new structure that acknowledges the importance of nearby St. Patrick's Church without overwhelming it. |
