National Trust for Historic Preservation to sell Dupont Circle home

The National Trust for Historic Preservation will put its own historic building near Dupont Circle on the market in April.

The trust, a private nonprofit dedicated to protecting historic places, has called the former McCormick Apartments, at 1785 Massachusetts Ave. NW, home since 1976.

Even though the organization has not stated a list price for the building — “It’s priceless,” the trust’s broker, Jeff Zell, croaked breathlessly — a swarm of would-be buyers have already descended on the storied property.

In its 92-year history, the ostentatious beaux-arts building has been home to ambassadors, socialites and industrial tycoons.
