Portico – Connecticut Avenue near Wyoming Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C.
In 1915 developer Bates Warren selected the site at 2029 Connecticut Avenue both for its high elevation and for its proximity to other stylish apartment houses. Designed by architects Ernest C. Hunter & G. Neal Bell, 2029 is a Renaissance inspired building, built in the Beaux-Arts style. Ivory-colored terra cotta is used extensively on the façade, especially on the two porches and the window surrounds on the first, second and seventh floors. The two entrances to the building are quite prominent. The one on Connecticut Avenue is through an ornate octagonal porch.
