The co-op apartment building at 2101 Connecticut Ave. NW in D.C.’s Kalorama neighborhood has been home to ambassadors, military officers, congressmen and senators, a Supreme Court justice, and a vice president.
Ymelda Dixon often wrote about the building in her Washington Star column, calling it “the bastion of the rich retired” and — because it seemed to attract members of the armed forces in particular — “practically a club for retired top brass.”
Monali Chowdhurie, who acquired this second-floor corner apartment in an estate sale in 2013, described it as a “sociological treatise on how Washingtonians lived once upon a time.”
“It was just fascinating,” Chowdhurie said. “It was quite amusing the way they must have lived and the way we live now.”
