Ready to live in one of DC's coolest historic buildings? Meet The Mendota. Built in 1901 and home to just 50 residences, this iconic prewar building blends old-school DC charm with the kind of character you just can't recreate.
Welcome to Apartment 37, where historic details and modern updates come together effortlessly. The first thing you'll notice? Those incredible 10-foot ceilings that make the home feel bright, open, and spacious.
