Bold, modern new design envisioned for Hecht building

This stretch of New York Avenue has had a tough go of it, with traffic nightmares, loitering and more than a few eye-sores.

 

Now, the iconic Hecht's warehouse building hopes to breathe new life and be the "gateway" to D.C.

 

"It means a good amount of pride to be able to transform one of the district's really fine gems of historic architecture," said Kevin Sperry, architect.

Here, ABC7 got a first look inside this highly anticipated project, that stretches nearly six blocks.
