One of the Coolest Yards I’ve Ever Encountered
This yard blew me away. The columns are just the bomb. It is so odd because out front it just looks like a regular rowhouse. Good stuff.

That’s someone’s YARD? It’s gorgeous! Kinda how I imagine Ms. Haversham’s place would look like.
Where is that? PoP you have got to provide an additional photo or two to give some reference. That’s amazing…
Yeah that is gorgeous! I second we need to know the location!
Is this an abandoned property? It looks like the windows are boarded up.
very “secret garden”ey. I love it.
PoP’s silence deepens the mystery….
And I also want to kow, as I’ve been fantacizing about a Tuscon back yard. Well, pending a giant win in the lottery…
I’m on bolt bus right now. Any way it is a side yard that you have to look through a chain link fence. I think its near Florida ave. I’ll write down the locale next time I pass it
Well done, PoP. Reporting on the mobile. See if you can get an extra pic as well next time.
That yard looks cool, although I also cringe at how much work it would take to maintain. is it enclosed?
its just off 16th.
a friend of mines apartment overlooks this. too freaking cool.
all that great concrete goodness!
I wonder if the columns were salvaged from the old Henderson Castle or something.
I’ve seen this, too – I don’t think the yard belongs to the rowhouse. It looks like it’s part of the lot occupied by the modern(ish) apartment building next door. I expect that the columns are the remnants of a formal garden that was behind a large mansion that was leveled in order to build the current apartment building.
this is my favorite mystery in washington dc. i used to always walk by it… a strange fantasia behind some garbage can area… 16th and florida.
Fairly certain it’s on the south side of Florida b/t 16th and 17th
It’s 1622 Florida Ave.
It looks like the secret garden…
