Description: The Spencer Carriage House and Stable located at 2123 Twining Court NW (behind 2122 P Street NW) in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Designed by architect John McGregor in 1905, the Colonial Revival building was constructed for Southern Railway president Samuel Spencer. In the 1950s, the building was converted into a restaurant. It later became the Fraternity House Nightclub (better known as the Frat House), a popular gay bar which opened in the 1970s and was later renamed Omega DC. The bar closed on December 25, 2012, and was converted into a private residence. The building is a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District and was added to the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites on December 19, 1995, and the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1996.
