Anderson House, 1922 (New house behind facade by Fin Kappe, 1995)
390 Vance Street
Anderson, whose first name seems to have disappeared, was supposed to have been a merchant who brought treasures from all over the world to this tiny house. Most of his travels seem, however, to have been in Mexico. This house, with its magnificent tile, art glass windows, and mosaic of Mexican dancers in front of a mission arcade is a real stunner.

Day 173/365 - Beautiful House
Image by @ubermoe
Do I really look weird? Actually I like this house and its design. The next side of it is design according the mexican style which I love. Flowers on every window and everything looks stunning. But the beauty isn’t the same at night. No lights at all.

Fresh homemade salsas and pickled vegetables with the authentic flavor of the Mexican kitchen! The founders of the Mexican Flavor Collective are originally from Mexico City and came to D.C. 7 years ago.

In celebration of Earth Day, on April 22, 2012, Benevolent Media and SCRAP DC presented an afternoon of eco-conscious art and design, featuring a pop-up marketplace of local vendors and interactive workshops led by teaching artists dedicated to inspiring “creative reuse” and environmentally sustainable behavior.
This event was scheduled as part of The Water Street Project, a multidisciplinary “flash” exhibition housed in a temporary art gallery/creative space in Georgetown, along the newly renovated waterfront.
