In this latest installment of Abandoned House Watch, I look at 1334 Irving Street NW, which has boarded-up windows and wasn't shoveled during the blizzard. I looked it up, and it's owned by the DC Housing Authority. I guess they took it over from some delinquent landlord, and the building isn't on either of the city's vacant property lists.
They haven't done much with it, however -- here's how it looked in 2005, from DCHA's Flickr account.
Kind of a shame to see this house sitting empty. I'll email Jim Graham and see what's happening. At the least, the city could sell it for a fair amount of money.

Do you know if there is any information on the Bacon Funeral Home on 14th? It appears abandoned and is a total eyesore for the community.
thanks for the reminder, i've been looking into it. that place really is a dump.
what beautiful windows! bet they are original too.
bacon funeral home might be my favorite building in dc. can't beat the name of that place.
Did you receive a response from Graham about this address? I walk by it all the time and wonder what the story is. That's prime real estate.
