The Champlain Apartment Building, also known as the Orme Building, is an historic structure located at 1424 K St., Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the Downtown neighborhood.
The building was designed by architect Clinton Smith and constructed in 1905. A real estate venture of Senator Redfield ProctorofVermont (who was also the president of the Vermont Marble Company), it features a white marble Beaux-Arts Classical façade. The building exemplifies the importance of elected officials on Washington's design and the significance of private construction in implementing the City Beautiful movement in Washington.[2] Converted into an office building, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
