Modern Features at the Historic 1870 Wyoming Cooperative

This historic address may date back to a long-ago era in the nation's capital but it was widely regarded as a very modern and luxurious apartment home at the time. The 1870 Wyoming co-op building has undergone extensive renovations in more recent years, maintaining its original grandeur while also keeping a firm grasp on its timeless reputation for modernity. Located in what was once the Washington Heights neighborhood at the corner of Wyoming Ave and 19th Street, the buff brick and limestone building is home to 28 residences. All of the units have either two or three-bedroom layouts and are quite nicely sized. Washington Heights eventually became part of Adams Morgan, when that community was renamed and remapped in the mid-1950s.

Located on a leafy street just a couple blocks from the triangular-shaped Kalorama Park, this attractive cooperative with its big front bays is impressive from the street, and even more distinctive once you enter through the front portico.

The units have front foyers, large living and dining areas, and wonderful old school architectural details such as French doors, millwork, and beautiful old hardwood floors. Residents have often updated their kitchens over the years. Many apartments also have private terraces.

This pet-friendly building has a staffed front desk, a bicycle room, basement storage lockers, and a magnificent roof deck with sweeping views of the Capitol building and other monuments. Location is also key, nestled into an area where the Adams Morgan and Kalorama neighborhoods come together, and easy strolling distance from next-door Dupont Circle.
