Foundry has been a dream in the making for owner and creator, Yvette Freeman. Half of the brother-sister team of Freeman Development Group, a boutique real estate development firm that has been developing flagship properties in the District for over ten years, Yvette Freeman has recently launched FOUNDRY: Past, Present & Possible, a Parisian Flea Market in the hottest furniture design district in the U Street corridor of Washington, DC.
Known for her “little black dress” design philosophy, FOUNDRY brings unique vintage, industrial and reclaimed statement pieces to the 1522 U ST NW location and positively completes any homes décor.
