Universal South Building
The Universal South Building located at 1825 Connecticut Avenue NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Construction of the modernist style building was completed in 1959 to the designs of Leroy Werner and RTKL Associates.
The land the Universal South Building, Universal North Building, and Hilton Washington are built on was a ten-acre estate historically known as Temple Heights (also known as Dean's Tract or Dean's Estates). In 1940, architect Frank Lloyd Wright was chosen to design Crystal City (it was originally named Crystal Heights) on the site. The massive mixed-use unbuilt project would have included 14 high-rise towers, a 2,500-room hotel, an 1,100-seat theater, shops, and parking for 1,500 cars. Here's a photo of the design. You can read more about the project in this Washington Post article.
