The Hawarden and Gladstone apartment buildings at 1423 and 1419 R Street, N.W. were designed by George S. Cooper and built 1900-1901. While not identical, the buildings share certain design characteristics.

A town house on 17th Street in Dupont East now houses a liquor store -- o.k., it's a cheap title, I know. The store has been there for a while and I think the sign has as well, though it may not truly be antique. I still like its utter simplicity. The connection to the topic "Dream" for Monday, the 5th of March may seem tenuous, though I suppose that there are people who dream of liquor.

It's always odd to find discarded furniture on the street, at least near Dupont Circle. Apparently someone grew tired of this old chaise longue and left it out on Q Street for anyone to claim. The topic for Tuesday, the 6th of March was "Buttons," thus the button-tufted upholstery.

This was partly edited in Lightroom 4 and also using a new application called PicMonkey. For the time being, it is free, but I wouldn't expect that to last. In any event, it may be a suitable replacement for Picnik which will be vanishing on the 19th of April. It is basic, though, and has fairly rudimentary applications. Perhaps more will be added in time.
