History buffs will soon be able to visit one of D.C.’s architectural treasures — and stock up on Apple Watches and AirPods at the same time.

The Carnegie Library building in Mount Vernon Square will reopen on May 11 after two years of renovations, Apple announced Tuesday. The technology company has refurbished the the 1903 building as a flagship store and event space. The building will also house the new DC History Center, a project of the Historical Society of Washington, D.C.

Apple paid for all the renovations, although the company will not disclose the total cost.

The building is protected by strict preservation regulations and overseen by the city’s Historic Preservation Review Board. Its exterior looks just as it did when it opened in 1903, with the addition of a glowing Apple logo.

Apple will mark the store launch with a six-week “StoryMakers Festival” aimed at highlighting Washington-area artists, a spokeswoman told WAMU. The festival will include a “live art battle” between street artists from the POW! WOW! mural project (using Apple sketching tools), a photography tutorial with celebrity photographer/America’s Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker (using iPhones and iPads) and an interactive “art lab” for kids (using crayons and construction pap– whoops, we mean Apple Pencil and iPads.)

The festival kicks off on May 18 to and culminates in a block party hosted on June 29.

The original library was paid for by steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie, who funded the construction of thousands of public libraries across the country around the turn of the century. The Beaux-Arts building was the city’s first public library and its first desegregated public building. In 1970, the central library moved to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library near Gallery Place.

The society’s new history center will feature a treasure trove of local artifacts in its three exhibit galleries on the second floor. The new space also gives the Historical Society the opportunity to display items from the vast Kiplinger collection of Washingtoniana, which was officially transferred to the Historical Society’s ownership in February. The 4,000-piece collection includes a 1750 map of Virginia and Maryland, an 1886 engraving of the bustling streets around the Capitol, and an 1890 photograph of Washingtonians walking along 15th Street in their hats and ankle-length dresses.

Visitors interested in how Washington has developed and gentrified over the decades will be able to look through “Vanishing Washington,” a project that Willard Kiplinger commissioned. From 1950 to 1970, artists drew, photographed and painted the city’s streets and buildings under threat of demolition.

The Historical Society is also opening a retail store in partnership with Shop Made in D.C., featuring handmade products by local makers and D.C.-themed clothing and goods. The Kiplinger Research Library also will reopen for students and historians. The historical society expects to start accepting research appointments in early July.

In the basement, visitors can stop by the historic Bicycle Room to learn about the history of the Carnegie Library itself, Mount Vernon Square and the broader neighborhood.

“I think this is going to be a really exciting experience for anyone who comes into the building,” said John Suau, the historical society’s executive director. “Hopefully everything we do can contextualize anything Apple is doing.”
