This 1880s D.C. rowhouse went from private home to social club to frat house to condos

In 1925, the Music, Social and Literary Membership purchased the home. The Mu-So-Lit Membership, because it was recognized, was organized in 1905 by African People. The invitation-only membership was one of many few Black social organizations to personal its personal clubhouse, in response to the e-book “The Paper Bag Precept: Class, Colorism, and Rumor and the Case of Black Washington, D.C.,” by Audrey Elisa Kerr.
