four cylindrical columns, with turned balustrades between the posts. Atop the porch roof is a second-story<br />

porch with balustrade and short cylindrical columns that mirror the locations of the columns supporting the<br />

porch. Beneath the porch roof are modillions of a similar pattern to those beneath the building eaves. The<br />

porch floor and stairs are wooden, with wooden handrails. Windows are primarily double-hung wooden<br />

sash, with upper sash divided into eighteen panes divided by muntins, and a single pane in the lower sash,<br />

and several small fixed picture windows with wooden sash. The dormer has a patterned pane window<br />

flanked by two louvered vents. The main entrance is a paneled wooden door with a large glass pane<br />

beneath three smaller glass panes. The second-story porch has a double French door, each with diamondpatterned<br />

panes in a large central panel. This building was constructed <strong>for</strong> John Hoesch, an auditor <strong>for</strong> the<br />

This lot contains a driveway, landscaping and small accessory building associated with 2015 H Street. The<br />

structure is a small front-gabled one-story building, built in imitation of the architectural style of 2015 H<br />

Street. The front gable has a pediment, with a louvered vent. Siding is shiplap. Windows are double-hung<br />

wooden sash. Date of construction 1906 per plumbing records, and the building appears on a 1915 Sanborn<br />

map of the site. The landscaping elements are tall palm trees in line with those in front of other building on<br />

this block of H Street. The driveway has two outlets to the street, surrounding a Canary Island date palm<br />

tree, and leads to a <strong>park</strong>ing area adjacent to the building. While the presence of the concrete <strong>park</strong>ing lot<br />

detracts somewhat from the overall integrity of the building, the building and site does retain integrity and<br />

reflects the <strong>historic</strong> use of the site per 1915 Sanborn map, and thus this property is a contributor to the<br />

district.<br />

one of the most visually dramatic buildings in the neighborhood. The building was constructed <strong>for</strong> Anna B.<br />

store. This building is a contributor to the district.<br />
