Remember the luxury house for sale I posted last week? Well it is has a whole row of broken windows among some other damage.

Can someone please explain to me that strip of cubed glass that runs above the door nearly to the roof? Was it done for privacy or style? Help me understand.

And look, they too have gas burning porch lights. Hmm, now that at I look closer we may have a door of the day too…
|
Thanks to a reader for tipping me to these fresh window bars in Logan Circle.

Check out the flower sculptures on the roofs of these homes? Is it purely decorative or is it functional like a lightning rod?

This is a really well done new construction on 11th St. I believe near U St.
|
What do you think about this third level? Do you think it is period or a newer construction made to look Victorian? (Ed. note: I’m not sure if that is actually in the Victorian style but I didn’t know what else to call it!)

Hate changing your porch lightbulbs? Hate the environment and don’t want to purchase the new environmentally friendly longer lasting bulbs? Perhaps kicking it old school would be a good choice. This house sports a gas fed porch light. It’s kind of hard to tell from the photo but it looks great. I’ve also noticed a whole block of row homes on 13th St, just north of Logan Circle has the gas fed lights out front as well. Perhaps this is becoming a trend? I wonder how difficult they are to maintain. Personally, I think I would kill myself. I am one of few people (thankfully) who tried to change my stove hood without turning off the electricity first. Why? Because I didn’t want to reset all the clocks! And yes, I got the shock of a lifetime. I also re-lit my boiler one year with out turning off the gas all the way, so perhaps this is not the light for me… What do you guys think pretty cool or more trouble than it’s worth?

This solarium actually opens up to another solarium…

I think we’ve discussed this house before but I’m it seems to have sprouted another smaller level. What is that for? Will that be living space too?
