It looks really bad - joints don't fit well on the woodwork; the windows are especially terrible. I've only seen the inside through the open windows as the work was taking place, and it looked shoddy inside as well. Could have been such a beautiful thing, but it is better now than as a boarded up rat condo.

To see what it looked like prior to renovation go to: http://dcatlas.dcgis.dc.gov/mar/ and type in 902 T Street NW. It is a huge contrast. Oops to my comment above.

But still, it's better than having it be vacant. I agree with MK – I live on the block, and it just looks really thrown together, with no respect for the building or the history it holds.

It should help the ongoing growth of the DC real estate market, as well as the growth of a number of neighborhoods throughout the city.

The finishes look kind of cheap. The porch is not substantial enough for this particular house and they should have repointed the brick before they painted it over. You can tell its just a patch job in some places. I don't know if city considers this a historic home but I thought you couldn't repaint brick that hadn't been painted before on those type of houses. I could not go inside but some of the neighbors were not happy with the finishes. I'm very glad to see the building fixed up though.
