The D.C. community has rallied once again to keep an old Capitol Hill landmark alive.
Frager’s Hardware is a 97-year-old institution on Capitol Hill. Destroyed by fire in the summer of 2013, the hardware store faced a questionable future until the community opened up a pop-up space in Eastern Market, even raising $100,000 for employee salaries.
Now, just when the future of the shop was again in limbo, the owners of Logan’s Hardware purchased Frager’s. They plan to move the landmark business back to its original building on 11th and Pennsylvania in Southeast. The building has been gutted, but the facade remains.
