Humprey Family Moves to Fancy Southwest DC High Rise
Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and wife Jessica plan to move within a month to a two-bedroom, den and large living dining room apartment on the eighth floor of a nine-story cooperative near Capitol Hill. The couple will use furniture from their Chevy Chase home and pay an estimated $60,000 to $75,000. The building features an indoor pool, sun terrace, gardens, playground, and a sail-boat pond. Congress voted $750,000 for an official VP home near the Naval Observatory, but the plan was delayed due to war costs in Viet Nam. The Humphreys have sold their Chevy Chase house to a realty firm.
