Unfortunately, many of the older residents would prefer empty storefronts over anything...
I had a Yorkie and it pains me to recall thoughts of when my see you next Tuesday gf left...

I hope your prayers are answered.
Our thoughts are with you.
Let’s turn that baby into some high rent loft-style apartments with exposed ductwork! Really nowhere in DC where you can find that style of housing.
Actually developers are trending away from exposed ductwork (at least for condos, not sure about rentals) because that trend has fallen out of favor with consumers and those currently out there with exposed ductwork are doing poorly in resale. Although I kind of like the look personally, I do agree that’s it’s gone a bit overboard as of late.
That was such a great space to spend an afternoon. I’m sure it’s on the verge of collapse since they ripped out all of the floors and walls and started to dug out the basement and never finished… however many years ago.
oops dig not dug..
The alley facing is even sketchier. My dog loves chasing rats into there, but I’m sure there’s some super-rat living in there that would kick the crap out of him.
What was it when you spent afternoons there?
the brass knob warehouse
Yep, I think it was still open maybe 7-8 years ago.
I used to live next door in Adams Row and it was such an eyesore. It and the empty parking lot next to it attracted an unfortunate element. That, plus the affordable housing on the other side of the building were my reasons for selling.
How has this not yet been developed?
This used to be the Brass Knob’s (on 18 street) plumbing outlet. Do they still own it??
I have a feeling that it has deteriorated so badly that it will be a teardown, and another Bauhaus monstrosity built there.
Wobble
They never owned it. And it was much more than just plumbing.
Can we please stop hating on affordable housing. I am an entry-level government employee with a Masters degree and I live in affordable housing. Please educate yourself before bashing a helpful resource for those of us who don’t make $150,000 and waste it on $4,000 a month rent (which would be the equivalent of a monthly mortgage payment on a $1 million home btw). K thanks.
no
here, here…how about you just stop being poor?
you chose that life, sorry. You do good work but you knew what you were getting into.
Lame
Yes, sorry, people have become a bit too polite – calling it “affordable housing” when what we really mean is – housing that is mostly intractable long-term sequestering of multi-generaltional public assistance families with no interest in education, advancement or improvement, and a general tolerance for, if not outright embrasure of, crime and general mayhem.
That is exactly what I meant. Thank you. I try to be polite. Backfired I guess.
And frankly it is ok to be critical of that particular complex when every other week there were gun shots as a result of people living there. Can’t argue with the facts.
Oh, people will argue. Just you wait…
THIS.
Well, I guess that’s the right wing way of looking at it…
There are more thugs, troublemakers, and all-around losers in row houses in that neighborhood than there are in those apartments. Houses around here were very affordable before they weren’t, and lots of people over the age of 30 have lived in them for a long time.
