History
Then and Now: Homes near AFRH
This row of homes on Park Road east of Georgia Avenue has certainly seen some changes over the years. They were designed in 1908 by architect N. T. Haller for builder Percy H. Russell. When they were completed Georgia Avenue was still named Brightwood Avenue, Park Morton (now behind and next to the row) wouldn't be built for another 53 years, and the Soldiers' Home (now the Armed Forces Retirement Home) was still open to the public.
In fact, the Soldiers' Home was considered a major selling feature of these homes. The real estate ad offering these homes to the public stated that one of their many advantages was "one of the most beautiful parks in the world

Unfortunately, when you're talking about such long periods of time, it's really impossible to 'inflate' a cost because there are soooo many variables involved ... But if you're going to try, here're a few ways:
$102,000.00 using the Consumer Price Index
$76,200.00 using the GDP deflator
$444,000.00 using the unskilled wage
$682,000.00 using the Production Worker Compensation
$580,000.00 using the nominal GDP per capita
$2,010,000.00 using the relative share of GDP

By the way, in the original picture, do we see a railing of sorts making the porch roof hospitable?
