While I’m not digging the fake flower fence out front, this style of house is one of my favorite row houses.

I’m always facisnated by the particular brick used on this home. There are a few other examples of this type of brick in Adams Morgan, I think. Do you think the fourth floor is original to this home or a pop up?

This is one of the oddest row houses I’ve ever come across. It’s also one of my favorites. Notice it has a wild bay front window on the first floor plus a cool roof deck in the front. It’s from the Dupont area.

I like to show interesting painted brick options when I find them. This one is from LeDroit Park. Even though it was a very rainy day when I took this photo you could spot the house from a mile away. I gotta say, I like it. I know there are those that don’t like any painted brick. But for those that do – what do you think of this color?

This is a rather unusual one. I particularly like the balcony up top.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a row house with great circular rooms like this.

These unusual ones were found on Capitol Hill in a row of more traditional looking houses.

And here’s the final classic row house for this week. Aside from the air conditioning units this one is pretty tough to beat.

I’ve featured some of these cool row houses from Dupont in the past. But I still marvel at this one’s uniqueness.  I’ve never seen any others around town with a decoration like this:

Again, going back to my roots for classic row houses. This classic is of course from the great 1st Street, NW near Big Bear Cafe. I stop and admire this one everytime I pass it.

As I mentioned, this week is going to feature some classic row houses. I liked how the three above complimented each other but if I had to chose the best I’d pick the one to the left.

Last week featured some extraordinary homes for house of the day honors. This week I need to go back to my roots and appreciate some classic row houses. I love the simple one above and find it a sorta palate cleanser.
