From Philly Brownstoner: "When a rowhouse is demolished, and the heaps of collapsed building materials are carted away, a telling trace of the building is left on the walls of neighboring rowhouses. Studied with an observant eye, the images are a good lesson in historic building technology, providing a glimpse of rowhouse framework and joinery." Full article here.
DC Metro Townhouses Postponed
From the DC Metro website: "In keeping with the District of Columbia’s Takoma Central District Plan, townhouse development is planned for this station. The plan provides a Village Green of approximately .95 acres, new pedestrian paths, increased bike storage, and more bus bays/layover spaces for Metrobus and Ride-On operations." Unfortunately, the "Project currently delayed due to unfavorable market conditions." Project website.
