The Altamont is an apartment house in Washington, D.C., shown in this 1901 view from the Antique Architecture series. Around the turn of the twentieth century, multi-unit apartment buildings like this one were becoming a common answer to housing demand in a growing capital, offering middle-class residents city living without the expense of a single-family townhouse. The print records the building's street-facing design, including its massing and window arrangement, which reflect the architectural tastes of the period. Looking closely at the facade can reveal how such buildings balanced ornament with the practical needs of many households under one roof.
