Constructed in 1938–1939 as an apartment building, The Bader quickly attracted tenants drawn to its distinctive Art Deco detailing, solid construction, and modern amenities. It was among the first apartment houses in Washington to be fully air conditioned, a remarkable feature for its time. The building was developed by Joseph Howar, an immigrant who became a prominent Washington businessman. He named the building after his wife, Bader Howar. The architect was Louis de Laruantayes, whose design established the building's distinctive Art Deco character. Set in the heart of Foggy Bottom/West End, The Bader is approximately 0.3 miles from the Foggy Bottom–GWU Metro station, making commuting and exploring the city remarkably convenient. Georgetown, the Kennedy Center, George Washington University, the Potomac waterfront, Dupont Circle, restaurants, cafés, shops, and cultural destinations are all close at hand. The monthly condominium fee includes electricity, gas, water, and sewer, along with building management, building maintenance, grounds upkeep, snow removal, reserve funds, and building insurance—providing the convenience of having many significant homeownership expenses incorporated into one monthly payment. The unit also has a storage area within the basement storage room.
