Best Answer

The site was originally a house of worship, constructed in 1833 as the First Baptist Church of Washington-Architect and Builder unknown. In 1861, after the congregation relocated to a newly built structure, John T. Ford bought the former church and renovated it into a theater. He first called it Ford's Athenaeum.
