To all the Deco-philes on the list: we have been told of a beautiful
1939 Art Deco house in Glover Park that is now on the market.

Our friend Paul DonVito writes:

It was custom built in 1939 for the daughter of the owner of the Skyline
towers, an Art Deco apartment building at 2730 Wisconsin Avenue. She
lived there continuously until her death a few months ago. The house
was impeccably maintained, and more importantly has virtually every
original feature from 1939 -- original kitchen, original bathrooms,
original light fixtures -- and some of the most unusual Art Deco
features I have ever seen in a Washington DC single family home.  I
would encourage any buyer who is interested in this architectural period
to take a look at this unusual house.

It would be a real shame if an unsympathetic buyer purchased this home
and ripped out its wonderful original features.
