The Bond Building is a 1901 office building at 1404 New York Avenue NW, designed by architect George S. Cooper in the Beaux-Arts style and constructed for Charles Henry Bond at an estimated cost of $300,000. It survived a demolition attempt in 1980, when a D.C. Superior Court judge blocked a developer who had bought the building the year before and sought a demolition permit.
the style
The Bond Building was designed in the Beaux-Arts style, the grand classical idiom favored for downtown Washington office buildings in the early 1900s.

A 1979 sale to a developer led to a demolition permit application, which D.C. Superior Court Judge William E. Stewart Jr. blocked in 1980. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and is individually designated a DC Historic Landmark.
