Living Off Dupont Circle for $45/Month in 1920: The Toronto Story

How would you like to live right off of Dupont Circle for $45 per month? Not a bad deal. This advertisement from Sunday, August 15th, 1920 gives you that option. Oh, before you go, make sure you read this crazy story about how this building initially collapsed during construction.

  1. I’m more impressed by the notion of a 7 room and 2 bath apartment. I assume that 2 of those rooms are a kitchen and a living room but that’s still a monster.

  2. Is that “restaurant that accommodates eighty persons” where Second Story Books is today?
