History
The buildings are noteworthy examples of the attempt by developers, architects and merchants to turn Connecticut Avenue into an upscale shopping district similar to Fifth Avenue in New York City.[2] The buildings are two and three stories and utilize restrained classical architecture to project an image of sophisticated elegance. The buildings feature planar facades with classical design motifs in low-relief.[2]
