Welcome to The Standard Eleven, a boutique condominium building of rare quality and character located in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. The Standard Eleven is something different. The design draws its inspiration from the hip “new vintage” style found in some of the most popular boutique hotels and restaurants around the country. The look plays beautifully into the historic fabric of this roaring twenties Edwardian townhome that has been given new life with all-new modern updates and amenities and a newly constructed rear addition. Situated at the confluence of the charming and sought-after Logan Circle neighborhood, the up-and-coming historic Shaw neighborhood, and D.C.’s vibrant new downtown.
The Standard Eleven’s location was rated a “Walkers’ Paradise” by WalkScore.com. Three blocks from the Metro, minutes away from Whole Foods and an endless variety of restaurants, cafes, bars, theaters, boutiques, and live music venues as well as several blocks to the central business district, the location is unbeatable. When you visit The Standard Eleven, your senses will be delighted by the charming historic details and unique, thoughtful design touches that remind you that these spectacular homes are anything but standard.

What do you think of the rendering for 1407 T Street, NW?
The retail spaces will be home to Taqueria Nacional and BakeHouse.
The liquor license for Taqueria Nacional says:
“Mexican restaurant serving fresh organic tacos, quesadillas, and salads during lunch & dinner with a seating capacity of 50 for patrons and a total load of 90.”
I love walking past Duke Ellington’s old house on 13th St, NW. I especially love how modest it is.
Back in early May we saw the new art project, Before I Die…, outside the new restaurant (coming soon?) to the former laundry at 14th and Q St, NW.
It’s looking pretty beat up now. You still think it’s cool or has it become an eyesore?

Just last week we learned that the owner of Belga Cafe on Barracks Row was planning on opening a new space at 1324 14th St, NW in Logan Circle. I’m psyched to see they already applied for a liquor license:
“New Belgian restaurant serving Belgian cuisine for breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner. DJ for brunch and on weekends. Recorded background music will be provided. Total Capacity 199 and Sidewalk Café with seating for 12.”
Dear PoPville,
I wanted to make you aware of a recent attack in Logan Circle, particularly after the mugging incident near 15th & Q a couple of weeks ago. A group of about 10 teenagers (approx. 13-14 years old) attacked a man on the north side of Q St near Kingman Pl around 5:30 p.m. last Saturday, May 12.
I noticed a group of teenagers standing near the corner of Kingman & Q on the south side of the street. I did not think much of it, as they seemed to be in good spirits and joking with each other. A few minutes later, I heard some unintelligible yelling from the north side of the street. I could not see what was happening because trees and cars on the north side of Q blocked my view, so I walked across the street. I found a group of neighbors helping a man who had apparently been attacked by the group. We could see some of the teenagers in the distance running east, near the skate park at Rhode Island Ave. They appeared jovial, as if the attack was for fun.
A resident of a nearby home offered the man a seat on her front steps, gave him some water, and helped him treat his scraped wrist. The man called the police, who arrived shortly, and an ambulance came a few minutes later. The man said he was headed toward 14th St when the group crossed Q St to the north side of the street where they quickly approached him. One group member punched him in the face, sending him to the ground where about half of the others in the group continued to hit him while the rest watched. It was NOT a robbery – they did not take anything from him. Neither did they say anything to him prior to the attack.
This attack is especially disturbing given that it occurred in broad daylight on a typically very safe block that has consistent foot traffic, especially on a Saturday afternoon. Furthermore, it was perpetrated (apparently) for fun. However, it was encouraging to see the quick response from neighbors on the block. I hope that spreading word of this incident will help keep people in Logan Circle on the lookout to take action to possibly help prevent future attacks. An area resident said he remembered attacks by smaller groups about 10 years ago and increased police presence put a stop to the problem. If the current trend continues, maybe a similar response is warranted.
