History

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).

Rosa Douglass Sprague lived at 1530 15th Street, before Alma Thomas's parents moved in, in 1907.

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