Red leaves and a pop-up

An old Victorian on A Street NE that has one of the infamous “pop-ups” that pop up all over the Hill, meaning they add another story that usually doesn’t complement the original building very well and in fact is often considered an eyesore.

*****

Fall came very late to Capitol Hill this year due to unseasonably warm temperatures until the end of October and rain all summer long. The Washington Post had, in fact, called the color "muted," so I set out to prove them wrong and also show off the Victorian houses that host the trees.

I like both the leaves and the "pop-up"; wouldn't mind my study up there and a nice chair to put out on the bit of flat roof....its the base that looks rather harsh and unappealing

In this case it doesn't appear to be too incongruous. Love your shot of it anyway. V

I like the "pop-up" with its nice little balcony and lots of leaves to enjoy ! V

Maybe an eyesore but could hold a nice room with a view. Autumn colors and blue sky are lovely. V

Beautiful all around. Colors, architecture, a beautiful composition with complementary elements. V

Very interesting pop-up and a great capture of this color...

Well that pop-up makes your image more interesting with the mix of colors, I suppose it does make the house look a bit odd. V
