Friday Fotos: Logan Circle Architectural Details

Washington has many homes that were built in the late 1800's and early 1900's, and they have some amazing detail work. This is especially true of our downtown neighborhoods, like Logan Circle.

The bricks were not anything like you see today. This home has the rounded transome over the door, and the decorative brick work on either side add a lot of interest.

But before you even reach the door, the ironwork on the steps leading up to it are interesting, as are the posts and even the hand rails.

One of the fun things about selling these old historic homes is that they are not cookie cutters. And most of them have been extensively resotred inside, with special attention paid to bringing the electrical, plumbing, heating and central air into the twenty first century.

In other words, we just never know what we are going to walk into when we are showing or previewing properties downtown.
