Fort View Apartments, a 62-unit complex in Washington, D.C.'s Brightwood neighborhood, was designed by architect George T. Santmyers and completed in 1939. The building exemplifies Moderne and Art Deco architectural styles, overlooking Fort Stevens Park. Originally marketed as Fort Stevens Place, the apartments rented for between $47.50 and $73.50 per month when new. After sitting vacant for several years, the complex underwent a comprehensive redevelopment completed in 2011 at a cost exceeding $19 million. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
