1211 10th Street NW fails to get past Preservation Board

Badwolfdc Blog reported that some cursory demolition had begun at 1211 10th Street NW back in July. Now it seems that the plans put forward by the owner do not meet the Shaw Historic District preservation requirements (by unanimous vote). Work had stopped shortly after it had begun, and will now stay that way for the near future, at least. Hopefully a plan can be developed that will pass muster, and what has become a long term eye sore for the neighborhood., will finally be restored.
