Seaton House, extension (17)

622 Louisiana Avenue, NW (now Indiana Avenue)
Constructed in 1867, demolished 1923

The extension proposed in 1867 would have extended the existing hotel to Seventh Street, incorporating the Bank of Washington as the "principal ornamental front." The completed project, however, did not include the bank building. Cluss and Kammerhueber designed the six-story addition. John H. Semmes owned the Seaton House as well as the St. Marc Hotel located nearby at Pennsylvania Avenue and 7th Street. A six-story building with nearly 6,000 square feet and valued at $150,000 in 1902, it was one of Cluss's largest commercial buildings. Later it housed postal facilities and in its last decades, the Central Union Mission.
