Returns 3 separate deeds of trust (3 distinct pieces of property apparently)
Castellum Alefantis LLC borrows from the Estate of Joseph T Scheve, at 1801 Harbinger Trail, Edgewood, MD.
The trustee of the estate is Nellie T Hubbard of the same address.

Look up parcel on their map: http://otr.cfo.dc.gov/page/real-property-gis-and-mapping-services
Pegasus is zoned use code '062'. img arc
062 use code indicates "Commercial Garage, Vehicle Sale: (Class 2) Structure with facility for motor vehicle repair; devoted to retail/wholesale motor vehicle sales". img arc
The zoning might very well mean nothing.
My guess is that the estate was selling the property and sold the property subject to a mortgage. Some possible leads:
- Nellie Hubbard might know something
- There might be marketing material showing what the inside of the property looked like (especially the 2nd floors) prior to sale
- Would be very helpful to know if a broker was used, or how Alefantis and Hubbard got connected.
- Is there a deeper connection between them?

Yes, excellent! Now why did they need a view of that home?

Why the frontpage isn filling from Pegasus / Alefantis posts? Too much.. Can't the mods compine them or something?
quantokitty ago
Absolutely. He bought it for a purpose. But we're leaving out that it could be seen from that house he also bought. Didn't it specifically point out REAR VIEW? So why was that view important? We need to be cognizant of all the pertinent facts and not let them drop off the radar. And it was pertinent because Wiseman (think it was her), posted a pic of her peeking through the window. Why? What was she going to be able to see when everything was in place? What is in that view?

I remember talk on here about JP having an equipped van maybe with slabs of concrete. Could these things be connected? I also remember a van being parked next to CPP. Maybe that is where they store the vans they use to transport these kids. Ugh.

i'd like to point out that there are three distinct lots in the transaction: 2833 0026, 2833 0027, and 2833 0817...which should all be on the same block between 13th and 11th, otis and monroe. the smallest-numbered parcel currently listed in the gis is 0071...0026 and 0027 do not appear to exist at this time.

It's a museum, so a tour wouldn't be unusual since that's basically what museums are for is touring...

What do you guys bet that Justin Barrows aka Jabbaroos did some work there? I believe he works in construction.

His name is Scott Cummings

What purpose could a sliding floor really have? There is obviously a room up there and the floor obviously can slide away so that a person can neither enter nor exit that room. Very unsettling.

Edit: this is not an important address, i think, but i found it in the legal documents.
Scheve also owned this property, according to the docs, but it was sold as a part of his estate to another company unrelated with alefantis:
1644 North Capitol
[removed links because i think it's a dead end]

Hmmm ... could this have been a storage facility for those vans and "cargo" which I'm sure were "art pieces"?

ctrl-f hubbard.
uh, does this say that Scheve willed the property to alefantis? (maybe i'm reading that wrong - all the legal wordings confuse my feeble little head)
Excuse me, AKFANTIS?
either it's a misspelling in a legal document (ha) or james alefantis has another name.
crazimal ago
probably or sort of(?). implies he has to do with it, because designated as agent. he could be willed it, purchasing it or otherwise as of the filing. we know he ended up with it...
willofthewarrior ago
Probably an OCR error.
bolus ago
yeah - a quick google finds no akfantis anywhere. still interesting, and does this actually say/imply it's willed to him?
