I was just looking into 1644 North Capitol St the other day. I found the building odd. You can see from this image the way it is constructed is almost to hide the actual building. The building is a facade, literally and figuratively speaking, https://snag.gy/2nLpTB.jpg no windows on the sides? Very strange. It has had new owners since 2012 https://snag.gy/lv8mpn.jpg but before that it was leased to a local art collective http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/24/AR2007052402465_pf.html http://archive.is/qYXTs note that they were afforded the privilege of leasing it for $1 a year! EDIT: "Borf" aka John Tsombikos' father is/was a contractor so that's probably how they got the building to lease. http://dcist.com/2008/06/the_house_that_borf_built_is_closin.php
