Built in the 1930s, and named in honor of pioneering teacher, feminist, mentor, tennis pro, and Howard University's first Dean of Women, Lucy Diggs Slowe, Slowe Apartments was originally known as Slowe Hall, a girl's dormitory at Howard University. Fast forward over 90 years and the front facade (every bit of it meticulously preserved) is the only recognizable part of this luxury apartment building. But in keeping with the original character, you're welcomed by a sleek new Art Moderne lobby and well-appointed, collaborative amenity spaces. And the apartments? They're about as far from images of 'dorm life' as you could imagine. Both lofts and flats feature hard surface floors throughout, top-of-the-line kitchen appliances.
