I originally took this photo because I thought the sign was ridiculous. Then I realized, dang, that’s a pretty sweet house.
Close ups after the jump. (more…)

This one has been converted into condos but the details are amazing. The only thing wrong is that they added this ridiculous sign on the super cool brownstone.
Otherwise very cool. A couple of close ups after the jump. (more…)

I’m a huge fan of the metal. What type of material is that anyway?
Thumbs up or down? It does have a garage…
|
What can I say, I’m a sucker for shutters. Never saw one for a door before, even if they are decorative, I dig em.

This beauty is on 16th Street. I think it may actually serve as an office of some sort today but surely it was a dope mansion back in the day. The details are incredible.

Here’s a wild one. I’ve never seen one that had window like this on the “second” floor. Quite odd, I think. Thumbs up or down?

I thought this was a really interesting example of two styles mixing. To a certain degree it reminded me of the buildings we judged on Mass Ave. a couple weeks ago. This example is from 16th Street, I didn’t catch which embassy this (my weakness in flag identification is well documented). But the building itself is super cool. If you look to the right hand side you’ll notice a more modern styled addition. I think it came out pretty well. What do you think – thumbs up or down?

The folks at CSNA have some development news for the development coming to 14th and S Streets, NW.
The DC Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) approved revised plans as presented by the JBG Companies for their mixed-use project at 1800-1818 14th Street, NW (14th and S Streets, NW) on the site of the old Whitman-Walker clinic.
JBG presented revised plans at the February 2009 CSNA meeting, which incorporated comments received from CSNA, HPRB, ANC 2B, Dupont Circle Conservancy, and surrounding neighbors. After the presentation, CSNA voted to support the revised plan as presented. CSNA then shared their approval and support of the project with HPRB.
JBG is the same group developing the hotel at 13th and U Streets, NW that we discussed earlier in the week.
More info and renderings can be found here. How do you think this proposed building looks?

16th Street Heights hooked me up big time this week. I promise next will have a little more neighborhood diversity but there are so many fresh houses up there…

I’ve gone on record with my weakness for bungalows…
What do you think about the stone columns and chimney on this one?
