A lot of progress since we last checked in at 9th and I St, NE. While it’s not my favorite, it’s not the worst one I’ve ever seen. What are your final thoughts?

Dear PoPville,

Saw this going up at 2317 Ontario Rd NW…I know they don’t have any restrictions in my section of Adams Morgan but it seems weird.

Ontario Road is becoming a popular pop up destination. We’ve previously looked at one at 2714 Ontario Rd, NW.

Oh boy…

Most of the time I post pop ups the reactions are universally negative. And in many cases that is certainly understandable. So I’m always happy to share ones that I think do a good job. This one from Capitol Hill is still getting worked on but I think they did a great job. You like the way it’s turning out?

It’s been a while since we checked in on 2714 Ontario Road, NW.  We’ve been following the progress of this construction here, here and here.

A reader requested we take a look at the house being converted to condos at 13th and Euclid St, NW. What do you think of the mini pop up? You can see what it used to look like prior to the expansion here.

Closeups of the pop up after the jump. (more…)

Thanks to a reader for spotting and sending photos of this one. They write:

“I thought it was one of the better pop tops I’d seen before.”

What do you guys think of this one?

It’ll be interesting to see how the long vacant property at the corner of 13th and Otis St, NW in Columbia Heights turns out. Looks like the whole block is getting fixed up. Note the house next door is also getting popped up but instead of wood framing is using cinder blocks:

Remember the Pop up at 9th and I St, NE that almost blew over back in Feb. ’11? How do you think it’s started to turn out at this point?

“Dear PoP,

You had a post about a horrific looking pop-up on north capitol (1636 North Capitol St. NW). I wanted to let you guys know that the developer has seemed to actually have done a decent job in matching the new & old facade. I’ve included a photo I took.”

Wow. That’s pretty impressive. What do you guys think?

Thanks to a reader for sending the update. Do you like the way the addition is looking at 2922 Sherman Ave, NW? I’m going with a thumbs up so far.

“Dear PoP,

I live across the street from this unit so I’ve been watching it go up. I think they are turning it into a pop up, which is disappointing.”

We took a look a couple of weeks ago but that was before the pop up. I think it’s still hard to tell at this stage if it’ll be an eyesore or a tasteful pop up. Since it looks like it’s a bit recessed I’ll remain cautiously optimistic that this may turn out ok. We’ll revisit in a couple of months to see how it turns out.

This is looking a lot better than I thought it would. Has it grown on you as well? You can see what it looked like in Jan. here.

This is a wild one from just off H St, NE. I’ve never seen one with a different style top like this before. Any fans?

A neglected pop up. From Shaw. Think at some point it will be salvageable?
