[quote=Anonymous]One more resource. Can you tell I am [i]obsessed[/i] with DC architecture? The minor streets used to be alleys, so you'll find info in the DC Historic Alley Buildings Survey that applies to the small rowhouses. https://www.nps.gov/shpo/downloads/DC-AlleySurvey2014.pdf From page 29: "Building Style and Characteristics The 19th century alley dwelling is typically a two- story, two-bay-wide dwelling measuring approxi- mately 12’ x 30’. Alley dwellings were built on low brick foundations (no basements) and were covered with flat roofs, historically covered in tin. Front elevations often featured decorative brick- work, such as corbelled cornices and jack-arched or segmentally arched brick lintels."[/quote]
