Flickr user rockcreek took a photo of this interesting house on Fourth Street NW, aptly comparing it to Edward Hopper’s The Lonely House. The commenters discuss what could have led to the house being left all by itself in the middle of the block, so we’ll inquire to our readers: what’s going on here? Did the other houses fall down? Was Lonely House built by an eccentric who preferred traveling vertically rather than horizontally? Perhaps the first owner just smelled really bad?
