Dupont Circle Building, Art Deco office building in Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C.
The Dupont Circle Building extends for half a block with twelve stories, displaying a wedge shape at the intersection of Connecticut Avenue NW.
Originally constructed as an apartment building in 1931, the structure transformed into office spaces in 1942 and housed the United Nations Relief Administration headquarters.
The limestone facade incorporates low-relief sculptures of female figures and decorative pilasters that create alternating vertical patterns across the building surface.
The building entrance stands at 1350 Connecticut Avenue NW, with retail spaces occupying the ground floor and office tenants utilizing the upper floors.
The American Institute of Architects recognizes the building's geometric patterns and bas-relief ornaments as superior to those of New York's Flatiron Building.
