On September 29, 2006, Historic Takoma took ownership of its headquarters at 7328 Carroll Avenue, in the heart of Takoma Junction.
The Historic Takoma building was originally built in the 1930s as a Piggly Wiggly grocery store. In the 1940s, it was converted to a roasting facility for Barcelona Nuts, still an ongoing Maryland business concern. Many Takoma Park residents still remember shopping for nuts at the Barcelona nuts facility until the mid-1990s. Since then, the building has been intermittently rented, but mostly vacant.
Historic Takoma renovated the building to include an exhibit, office, research, and meeting space, as well as storage facilities for archival materials.
