1911 Pennsylvania Avenue NW was constructed in 1986 as a $4.5 million, nine-story office building. The building incorporates the facades of the last two remaining "Seven Buildings"[3]—some of the oldest residential structures in Washington, D.C.[4] The architecture of the building was praised by Washington Post architecture critic Benjamin Forgey.[5]
