P I 1 Women's Organization Buys Apartment Office Building Concluding several years of intensive effort, the Na tional Beauty Culturists' League, Inc., completed the purchase of the Cam bridge Apartment at 1221 Massachusetts Avenue, I N.W., Washington, D.C. on March 14, 1979. "This represents the fulfillment of one of our most cherished dreams" stated Dr. Katie E. Whickam, who has been President of the League for over 20 years of the organi zation's 60-year history. Under Dr. Whickam's leadership the League has grown to 10,000 members in its various chapters in 37 states in the United States and Virgin Island, and Bahamas. Now that its national office will operate out of its handsomely : decorated suite at the ' Cambridge, the League will be able to expand its program of upgrading the professional skills .and managerial practices of li censed cosmetologists and beauty shop owners who are League members. The Cambridge was pur chased from Columbia Real ty Venture for $3,450,000. Designed by the well-known architectural firm of Cohen and Haft, and built in 1965, it is a 10-story elevator, air-conditioned building, containing 131 apartments and 15,000 square feet of office space on the first floor. Among its many amenities are a roof-top swimming pool, a party room and an underground parking garage. It is located just a few blocks away from the site of the new convention center being planned for Washington and and is within walking distance of the downtown area. "We decided to buy this building for a number of reasons," said Dr. Whick am. "In the first place, we knew it would be a good, investment for our organi zation, now and in the future. But also, because of the first floor office space, we were able to establish in the building our new National Institute of Cosmetology, which contains a a model beauty salon, executive offices, classrooms and a large demonstration auditorium . that will seat several hun dred people. We will be con ducting seminars that will bring the latest styles and methods in beauty care to our members and others in terested in protecting and advancing our position in the industry. There are great opportunities for young people in the cosmetology field," said Dr. Whickam, "but we must also be careful to preserve the historic economic independ ence and community involvement of the black beautician and shop owner. Thus, the establishment of the institute of Cosmetology at the Cambridge marks the realization of another of our deams," added Dr. WhickaTTi; One of the League's first activities since taking over the Cambridge will be a program planning session of its Board ofOirdctors on April 7 and 8.
