You can’t really tell from the photo but this amazing home is up on a hill and makes the sight even more impressive.

I can’t remember if we’ve looked at this strip on 14th Street a bit south of P Street before. I think these buildings are super cool. I’m really hoping that they just get refurbished and not demolished. It looks like work is about to get started and if they do get fixed up I think this will be a phenomenal block. I particularly dig the one on the left. Anyone know what’s slated to happen here?

I’ve gotten a number of press releases about the immenent opening of the Allegro at 3460 14th Street N.W. It’s so nice to have this strip of 14th Street opened up again. And it looks like the building came out pretty good. I’ll be getting a sneak peak of the apartments inside so stay tuned for those photos. In the meantime, enjoy the open road! They reopened the bike lane:
And as we learned back in the beginning of February Thaitanic II will be opening up.

Here’s another more modernish one. It’s from the north Cleveland Park area if I’m remembering correctly. It’s also wild how close that tree is to the front of the house.

Here’s another cool building located on K Street not far from the sweet facade we looked at last week. It appears this building was a school, Franklin School, at one point. Anyone know what it is now? Dig the look?

K, so I was up in North Country last weekend, and they had some dope standalones…

When we admired the Bryant Street pumping station a couple of weeks ago, someone recommended checking out the Bus Barn on upper 14th Street. It’s a bit tough to appreciate it from these photos because it takes up a whole city block. I sadly couldn’t get it in all one photo. But it is pretty sweet. The cross streets are Allison and Buchanan, I believe. Pretty nice for a bus barn, yeah?

I think these columns kick ass. There’s about 4 houses in a row that have these and they all look super fresh.
|
Given our previous discussions of painted rowhomes, I think this color blue turned out really well.

I promise this won’t be a regular feature (unless you like it) but I was in Austin last week and I was really struck by this building. Sorry I only had my cell phone camera (yes, I’m aware there are better cell phone cameras out there…) but it made me think if DC is missing out on architecture like this due to the height limits. But first let me ask – do you like this building? If so, do you think DC is hindered in these options by the height limits?
