The Chastleton

A Return To Elegance ...

Combining 21st-Century luxury and convenience with 1920's elegance, Keener-Squire Properties' renovation and conversion of The Chastleton offers the unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Dupont Circle history. Built in the early 1920’s as one of Washington, DC’s finest apartment houses, The Chastleton was home to many luminaries, including Mrs. Wallis Simpson (later the Duchess of Windsor) and General Douglas MacArthur. Featured in James Goode’s book Best Addresses, The Chastleton is undergoing a detailed renovation to return the building to the ranks of DC’s finest residences.

James Goode's "Best Addresses"

"The façade of the Chastleton makes it perhaps the most impressive apartment house on the entire six-and-one-half-mile length of 16th Street, N.W."

"The Chastleton is the largest and most ornate Gothic Revival apartment house ever built in the nation’s capital."

"Its distinguished façade, handsome public rooms, and long history make it one of the most prominent early twentieth-century Washington apartment houses."

"Much of the first floor consists of public space, including an impressive two-story-high lobby with balconies on three sides … The intricate Tudor plaster ceilings in the first floor corridors, lobby … and [ballroom] are the most elaborate of any Washington apartment house."
