Amongst the oldest of the Dupont historic properties, this home was built in 1886 by Benjamin H. Warder who founded an agricultural machinery company which later contributed to the formation of International Harvester in 1902. This landmark property combines the character and beauty of historic architecture with modern amenities. These amenities include an elevator and newly renovated bathrooms and a fully legal rental unit with a Certificate of Occupancy. Located just steps off of Connecticut Avenue, this building has been set up with space on the main level which can be used as office space to compliment the many varied businesses, embassies, galleries, and restaurants nearby. The property is zoned RA-8 and has been used in the past as office space. The private elevator can take you to office, living space or upper levels.
