Modest, if somewhat dilapidated, row houses characterize this block of Massachusetts Avenue. Although the row houses are constructed from a variety of building materials, a continuous roofline creates visual continuity in the block. The sense of continu ity both offsets the dilapidated condition of the buildings and offers a tranquil quality to the residential avenue.
