The Neighborhood:

The apartment is located in the historic Bloomindgale neighborhood in Northwest DC. Bloomingdale is significant for its status as one of DC’s largest cohesive row house neighborhoods. Its development began with the arrival of a streetcar line and was continued rapidly by a small group of developers and builders in the early 20th Century. It boasts a large stock of row houses of high-quality design and materials, houses intended to attract stable middle-class residents.



Bloomingdale also demonstrates the architectural transition of DC’s row houses away from fanciful three-story Victorian buildings of the early 1890s to the more regular, two-story, front-porch row houses of the 1910s. Bloomingdale played a prominent role in the struggle to abolish racially restrictive housing covenants in the District and nation from 1907-1948.
