I think I’ve shown this awesome house in the past but now that I have a proper camera I had to show you the incredible wrap around porch. Damn, that’s sweet.

Why aren’t their more of these? It seems to me that every rowhouse that has a porch should have a double decker porch. It seems fairly easy to do. How sweet is it to put a couple of chairs up there and have a cup of coffee/beer and people watch? So why aren’t there more of these?

Yeah you know this house. Amazing roof. Right near the Giant…

Another one bites the dust…

It gives you a little extra space but you miss out on the autumn breeze. Good idea or no?

Anyone have a roof deck? Do you have to get a special permit to install one?

Washington Post catches on to third floor atrocities. Sadly, PoP doesn’t get a mention. Thanks to a reader for the tip.

My favorite quote from the owner (Cornish): “As for aesthetics, Cornish said the building, when it is complete, will be far superior to the dilapidated, vacant property he bought last year for $425,000. “To each his own,” he said of those who object to such additions. “If they don’t like it, they should have gone and bought it themselves.”

I saw this house on my walk up Georgia Avenue. It looks very similar to the shape of the house on Upshur and NH. And I have to say, I am so upset at the current state of disrepair on Upshur, I think I would actually be delighted if it ends up looking like this house. In the future, maybe we can get some kind of historical status. How do we get historical status anyway?

I can’t believe I haven’t seen anything written up about this entire new construction of Row Houses built behind the Tivoli Theater on Monroe Street. Every time I walk by them, I fall asleep they are so boring. I’m not saying I need Frank Gehry but these are pretty plain. No interesting architectural detail at all. So I ask you am I wrong, am I wrong? And for the record I’m calmer than you dude.

I think it is going to look pretty sweet. At least this part…
