The building itself is noted as a historic school building, located at 4130 Albemarle Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Tenleytown neighborhood.

History

Janney Elementary School opened in 1925, as:

the last word in modern schoolhouse construction. It will have two distinctive features which other buildings of its type in the District lack – a combination gymnasium and assembly hall and adequate outdoor play space.[4]

In 1926, principal Blanche Pulizzi provided space for Tenleytown’s public library. In 1932, the west wing was completed. A renovation started in 2010, and was completed in 2011. A separate renovation took place in 2012, that expanded the west wing of the school, and added classrooms.[5][6]

It was listed by the D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board, in 2009. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 2010. Its principal, as of 25 August 2015, is Alysia Lutz. [7]
