I looked at the website for the museum and it says Penn Quarter too, why is Penn Quarter only south of F Street who said?

This new museum is in Chinatown and near Gallery Place, but it is not located in Penn Quarter. PQ is south of F Street.

It’s nice to see this building saved and cleaned up, but I have my reservations about how meticulously it was restored. The builder wanted to tear it down but was badgered into saving it. If you look at the details of the brick work outside you can see cracks and misalignments. We’ll have to see how well it holds up.

Thsi is H Street NE. I wonder if people automatically think “NE” when someone saysd “H Street” I know I do.

This is similar to U Street- everyone knows you mean U Street NW.

You’re right… it almost looks like when there is just a facade shell left and the sun is passing through… really neat

I noticed that too, doesn’t it seem strange that they removed the lintles over the front windows and door. I wonder what the story is there, because it makes the house look less nice and ornate.

Maybe they where bricked in when the mid-victorian lintles and iron balconies on the first floor windows where installed?

They talked about the plan for Connecticut Ave on this site a few months ago…

As for other places that I want street art? How about in some of the older neighborhoods further out in NE and SE?
