Following in the footsteps of Red Derby’s roof deck getting a roof comes El Chucho located at 3313 11th St, NW. DC Eater reports it will be heated as well. I understand the desire to utilize the space year round but I’m anti-roofs for roofs deck. What do you guys think – do you prefer an open roof decks that can only be used in the warmer months or covered roof decks that can be used year round?

Dear PoPville,
Plans have been posted on the DC.gov website for 2725 13th Street NW.
They plan on turning the building into four apartments.
Looks like they will destroy the front entrance and the cool original staircase. They will add a basic box to the back and sink a garage below grade.
Overall a shame, I think – this is one of the nicest homes in Columbia Heights.
We looked at 2725 13th St, NW as a good deal or not? post back in July 2012. Kinda reminds me of the great house at 13th and Euclid St, NW that also was split into condos.
