UtR Week 10: 1302 Floyd Ave

Queen Anne Style- built in 1895 as part of the row houses between 1302 and 1310 Floyd Ave.  Alternate use of (grey and) brown granite fronts on the first floor level form a nice contrast with the red brick above.  The third story balconies are composted or intricate brickwork.  Owned by Charles and Philip MODJESKI since 1974.  Two state tax credit applications have been made by the owners over the 5 years, the most recent in January of 2010.  Both were either disqualified or cancelled.  The property is assessed at $305,000

UtR 7: 2209 Jefferson St
Look at the potential for this commercial building right across from The Alamo BBQ http://www.alamobbqva.com/ This area is primed for commercial success.

The building was built in 1956. It was transferred to 2108 LLC in February of this year. HRF would love to know what the owners’ plans are for this structure…Lets take 2209 Jefferson St. off the vacant building list and into the hands of a small business owner who can make this a successful example of urban preservation!
