History
Peter Michael Dorsch (1878-1959), who was a Washington, DC native, established the business in 1904 on Seventh Street and moved to the present location in 1913.[2] The buildings that front S Street, NW were built in 1915 and 1922. They were designed by different architects, but they are composed of similar materials, treatment and details. They features elements of the American Craftsman style. White terra cotta tile crosses in the center pediments identify the building with White Cross Bakery. The building has been redeveloped into a mix of office and retail uses.
On the 2018 reboot of Murphy Brown, the building served as the Cable News Channel studios from which the title character's show Murphy in the Morning was broadcast.
