The Alma Thomas House is an historic house, located at 1530 15th Street, N.W., in the Logan Circle neighborhood.[3]

History

[edit]

Built in 1875, by Thomas G. Allen, the Italianate row house was the residence and studio of noted African-American artist Alma Thomas (1892–1978).[4]

Rosa Douglass Sprague, daughter to Frederick Douglass, lived at 1530 15th Street, before Alma Thomas's parents moved in, in 1907.[5]

Noted African American artist Alma Thomas lived in the home until her death in 1978 along with a sister, J. Maurice Thomas.[6] John Maurice Thomas, who was named for their father, lived at the home until her death in 2004, and the home passed to a nephew, who later sold the home.[3][7]

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a contributing property to the Greater Fourteenth Street Historic District.
