The powerful and influential Mary Foote Henderson, whom we’ve previously profiled, commissioned an impressive collection of palatial houses on Meridian Hill in the early years of the 20th century. One of the most prominent of these is the imposing Beaux-Arts mansion at the corner of 16th Street and Kalorama Road NW, which originally served as the French Embassy when it was completed in 1907. This well-preserved building, now home to the Council for Professional Recognition, is a striking expression of Henderson’s vision of Washington as an elegant equal to Paris, with Sixteenth Street its Champs-Élysées.

My huge room in a two bedroom, one bath unit on an upper floor of the Calverton Apartments is available.

Gas, electric, and cable/internet are not included. Laundry is on site, front desk attendant in the evenings (very secure building), secure package delivery, and wonderful building tenants. I can’t say enough good things about this apartment. Across the street is Potters House and Federalist Pig (if you haven’t tried this BBQ place you should!). (more…)

From an email:

“Dear friends: it’s getting cold out there and the Grand Duchess is preparing to go into a brief hibernation. Over the next few months we will be scaling down our operations and closing on Sundays, as we finish the pop up phase of our business and prepare to renovate. In the Spring, we will reemerge with a bigger bar, second bathroom and some cool new banquettes and booths. The vibe will remain the same. The movie nights, open mic comedy and Rock ‘n’ Roll DJs will will be back, bigger and badder than ever. It has been a truly great soft launch so far and we want to thank all of our customers for being so awesome. Please keep an eye out for some special, one-time offers between now and the renovation — and thanks again for your support! Cheers!
