Records show that a company called Webster School LLC with members Katie Dang and Hung Tran were the purchasers.

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, a Democrat who represents the District in Congress, made the sale of the property a priority for years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Webster School has been vacant since the 1980s and fallen into disrepair,&#8221; Holmes Norton said when announcing a renewed push to sell the building in the summer of 2023. &#8220;During my service in Congress, I have worked to transfer unused or underused federal land in D.C. to D.C. or the private sector to redevelop neighborhoods and to generate tax revenue for D.C.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The property in downtown Washington was originally built in 1882 and has served over the years as a school \u2014 for White children during segregation, for assimilating immigrants after World War I, and for pregnant teens, according to the Washington Post. But it has stood vacant for decades.<\/p>\n<p>The federal government&#8217;s General Services Administration, or GSA, initiated the auction in September 2024, with bidding commencing in November. The process concluded on Dec. 16, 2024, when an undisclosed bidder secured the property for approximately $4.138 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The DOGE attempt to take credit for the sale \u2014 and add the savings to its tally of success \u2014 is part of an emerging pattern. As CBS News <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/doge-wall-of-receipts-shows-errors-tallying-billions-in-savings\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">previously reported<\/a><\/span>, DOGE has erroneously claimed credit for savings including an $8 billion contract that was actually worth $8 million, and $3.8 million of the contract had already been expended.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The old Webster School building is situated close to the U.S. Secret Service headquarters and faced strict security restrictions that complicated efforts to sell or repurpose it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the need to address these challenges, Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/house-bill\/4688\/text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">passed<\/a> a bill in 2024 aimed at easing restrictions on the sale of the property. This paved the way for the GSA to put the Webster School up for auction in late 2024, ultimately leading to its sale in December. This was part of a larger effort by the GSA to dispose of underutilized properties.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
