I seem to recall there are some art deco fans out there. I’ve always liked this building in Cleveland Park (I know, what can I say, I walked around CP this weekend), I think on Newark. It’s got some great details.
I hope the building is just getting updated and not razed.
Food Shoppe. Really? C’mon CVS, I go to you for shampoo and toothpaste and other sundries. I always go to you for these. I hardly think stocking cans of Hormel chili qualifies you as a “food shoppe”. Just embrace who you are. Does anyone actually shop at CVS for food?
Makes you think twice about ever wanting to do work on one’s home. I think I saw a permit required for opening the front door…and, of course, another one for closing one’s door.
Sweet stonework. Note the woman’s face directly above the door.
Normally I’m pretty opposed to pink houses but I think this one looks kinda cool. Ok, you’re gonna ask me where this is, damn my glue habit, hmm, I think it’s north Cleveland Park.
This is the spot at 1410 U Street where Simply Home used to be. Anyone try it out yet? Anyone know if this is a chain? It looks promising. Though I did see a super odd mural from the window.
Here’s another cool shot from sophiagrrl who notes the three generations of signs. I think they can fit one more above the yellow sign up top…
These homes are located on 9th Street near Webster. There not finished yet (obviously no front stairs yet) but I think they’re really interesting because they don’t look anything like the surrounding homes.
And here’s what it looks like to the north:
Thumbs up or down?
This cool shot is from ewilfong. The reflection is super cool. Hmm, I don’t recognize this mural, anyone know where it’s from?

With house porn posts I’m usually more interested to hear what you think about the house itself rather than the price but for this one I’m actually curious about the price. Even with the 200k reduction it is on the market for $2,299,500. And I gotta say, I wasn’t blown away by the photos. Does this price seem insanely high? I realize it is a big house in a prime location but my jaw didn’t drop at the photos. What do you guys think?
