I’m not sure if this project at 1909 12th St, NW is still happening because their web site is no longer active. But if it does, here’s the rendering:
And the pop up we’ve been monitoring nearby at 1923 12th St, NW is progressing nicely:

Well, I’ve never seen circa 1978 construction highlighted in a listing before… Do you dig the look? Does $799,000 sound reasonable for this 4 bed/3.5 bath?
The pop up at 2212 11th St, NW seems to be progressing nicely.
I think we looked at this a few months ago, but I’m afraid I can’t find those photos.
At this point are you feeling positive or negative about the renovation?
Well it’s been a year and a half since I said the Carter G. Woodson House deserves better. The home is located at 1538 Ninth Street, NW and its Web site says:
“On February 27, 2006, the building was officially dedicated as the Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site, the 389th unit of the National Park System. The National Park Service will be restoring the building and developing a visitor center for the historic site.”
Well this is new:

Not to be outdone by Rock and Roll Hotel on H St, NE – DC9 has applied for begun building a roof deck at 1940 9th Street NW. Thanks to a twitter user for the heads up that construction has begun!
“Dear PoP,
I recently heard that what I thought was a welcomed new residential building is intended to be a boarding house once the renovation is complete. This is the large gutted red-brick building across from the playground near the corner of P and 6 St: 605 P. St.
Here is a link to the petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/605p/587602937/taf. There was a hearing last night with the local council member at the JFK community center at the corner of P and 7th at 7PM.
This could be a huge set back for the Shaw neighborhood and those nearby.”
Wow, they set up a whole Web site about this property.
City Paper’s Housing Complex reports:
“DCRA director Linda Argo—who said that there appeared to be much “confusion” over the process. She dispatched chief building inspector Dan Masoero to last night’s meeting of the Convention Center Community Association, where over the course of a 30-minute sparring session, he firmly told neighbors that the developer was fully within his rights and inspectors had found no problems on the site.”

What do you think of the home itself? Looks like they saved some nice historical details in the living room. This 7 bed/3.5 bath is going for $955,000. What do you think it’ll go for?

Last week we learned of an ATM Robbery Suspect. I’m happy to share this news from MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a series of armed robberies of citizens that occurred at ATMs in the First and Second Police Districts. To date, there have been at least 10 similar robberies that may be related. During this investigation detectives identified a suspect in one of the offenses and on May 18, 2010 an arrest warrant was obtained for 44 year old John Fenley Woodland, for the Armed Robbery that occurred on May 5, 2010 in the 600 block of Massachusetts Avenue, NW.
At approximately, 8:20 p.m. on Wednesday, May 19, 2010 agents of the United States Secret Service were in the 800 block of 17th Street, NW, when they observed a subject committing an armed robbery of a citizen at an ATM. The agents interrupted the robbery and arrested the assailant, who was identified as John Fenley Woodland. Members of the Metropolitan Police Department responded to the scene and immediately recognized the arrested suspect as John Fenley Woodland. Mr. Woodland was charged with two counts of Armed Robbery, as well as an outstanding bench warrant. Detectives are continuing to investigate Woodland’s connection to the other similar offenses.”
