A Shared Appreciation: Response Post #1
After reading Classic Cribs’ post on the “Old Lady” I had to respond with affection for the Kennedy-Warren as well. Growing up in DC has allowed me to take in all of the diverse architecture that our nation’s capital has to offer. And I don’t mean just tall buildings. However, there is one tall building that I always wanted to call home (and still hope to someday if I don’t buy a house) and that is the Kennedy-Warren. I remember passing it on my way to school every morning while driving down Connecticut Avenue and marveling at its simple elegance and welcoming decor (so maybe I am a little old fashioned when it comes to architecture).
I can’t 100 percent put my finger on what it is about it but I have always been drawn to it. Maybe that and it is one of the nicest apartment buildings in the city – or at least a lot nicer than my building, The Saratoga (pictured above). But that’s just a small side note. Regardless, I am glad that someone else notices the beautiful scenery in and around DC and I am not talking about the cherry blossoms or stops on the evening monument tour.
