Columbia Heights was home to several large estates and farms during the mid-1850s. The neighborhood was later laid out as a residential suburb in the mid-1860s and attracted many residents who had previously lived south of what is now Florida Avenue. It enjoyed a significant increase in development during the first two decades of the 20 th century, mostly due to the construction of the 16th Street trolley car line. The result of this development is evident in the many small, fine buildings that were constructed during this time, including this one. Located in an enclave of mostly two-story buildings, this c. 1910 seven-unit building shares many of the architectural features of its neighbors. Clad in either brick or stucco, these buildings present modest, yet dignified facades along the newly drawn or renamed streets of that period. One block off 16 th Street, this professionally managed building enjoys a superb location which is close to many restaurants, cafés, and Metro. This two bedroom, one bathroom unit has been completely refreshed with new kitchen appliances and refinished original oak floors. Charming, bright, and spacious, this apartment offers great value and location.
