Then (left): 3615 Warder Street, NW in Park View, photographed circa 1920. The street hasn’t been paved yet. I really like the flower box on the front porch. Photo from the Library of Congress, National Photo Company Collection.

Now (right): The house (and the row) are still there. The front door has been replaced as have the wood columns supporting the porch. The street light is now gone, and the garage has been extended with the upper porches being enclosed.
