Here’s an old page from The Washington Post on Sunday, July 3rd, 1932 showing the apartment listings for that weekend. Click on it for a larger image and see if you recognize any of the old buildings, or if your building is one there.

You could get some pretty sweet apartments back then for reasonable prices!
How about Alban Towers for $60, the Envoy for $50, or the DuPont Circle (not apartments today) for $37.50?
