The Studio Theatre located at 1501 14th Street NW in the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built in 1920 to the designs of architectural firm Murphy & Olmstead (Frederick Vernon Murphy and Walter B. Olmsted), the industrial Classical Revival theater originally served as an automobile showroom for the Trew Motor Company, a distributor for the REO and Peerless automobiles; the building later functioned as the Petrovich Auto Repair Shop. In 1987, the theater company moved to its present location, converting the ground level into the 200-seat Mead Theatre, and renovating the upper level into office space and classrooms. The building is designated as a contributing property to the Greater Fourteenth Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
