The historic Central National Bank and Matthew Brady Studios is a twin-turreted landmark on Pennsylvania Avenue at 7^th Street, NW. Known locally as the Apex Liquor Building, this project was completed to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for historic preservation making it eligible for a significant historic preservation tax credit. The project was sold to Sears Roebuck prior to construction, and was built to Sears' specifications to serve as headquarters for its World Trade and Governmental Relations divisions. Mr. Beeke was Project Manager for the renovation of this project, completed in 1984.
