Friday Photos: Lafayette Place and North Loudoun Street

212 North Loudoun Street

This week, we added 59 photos from the 1976 Architectural Survey to the PHW Flickr account. Five are the houses on Lafayette Place, a small alley off North Avenue between Loudoun and Braddock Streets. At the time of the survey, the alley was unnamed and those structures had North Loudoun Street addresses.

The remaining 54 photos are on North Loudoun Street in the 200-500 block range, including the now demolished former Sears building and GW Motors. The 500 block photos extend past the current Historic District, and the handwriting on those survey forms indicate those were researched at the same time by the same person as the National Ave. properties added a few weeks ago. As with the National Ave. forms, a few contain brief chain of title research and some original owner names.

As the Loudoun Street album is getting quite large, the best way to see the new additions is at the top of the photostream. Enjoy this trip down memory lane (or up the GW Motors ramp), and have a happy weekend!
