Taylor Street, near 14th

Then: Photographed ca. 1920, the row of houses between 1360 and 1378 Taylor Street, NW, are in the process of being sold to their first owners.


1360-1378 Taylor Street, NW

Now: The row is still there today. The trees that have grown over the years make it a very attractive street. Some of the homes are a little rough, but there are still many of the original details. If you go, you’ll also notice that the row has been extended east by another section. You can see what I mean by rough below, although this is an extreme example.
