This one was not too pretty but its location and surrounding yards were quite intriguing for some reason. The house is apparently still owned by its former inhabitant, an older women. A neighbor, who told me he was the owner's brother, said she was out of town but would be returning soon. Hopefully she'll come back but who knows.

1200 23rd Street at R Street
An article from the Church Hill People's News by Mr. John Murden, along with some additional photographs he took of the home's interior prior to it being boarded-up. http://chpn.net/news/2008/10/15/a-house-goes-vacant_2817/

418 Chimborazo Blvd.
This old beauty was torn down a few weeks ago. I loved the weathered wood and stark Kelly green trim. It had the prettiest little purple wildflowers growing on the front steps too. These images were taken on three separate occasions and I am sorry to say are not very spectacular. Still, at least I have photographic evidence of its existence.

3012 and 3014 P Street.
This was one of the first structures that caught my eye when I started this project several months ago. The contrast of the two homes, one with its front painted white and the other with bare weathered wood, seemed stark and intriguing. I discovered at least one stray cat living on the front porch which was surrounded by empty cans of cat food. The back yard was full of debris. This included the remains of a mattress that had been absorbed by a tree and appeared like a fence around the back corner of the yard. These were two small and simple homes but for some reason I found them quite beautiful.
