I see this morning that the green and white trailer that marked the home of AnA Towing near
the corner of Half and K is now gone. You may remember my post from Saturday that
the lot has closed down and is moving to 2nd Street, SW; I didn't check to see if the trailer has been relocated to their new home. I'm not sure it technically qualifies as a "raze", but I've still added it as #137 on my
Demolished Buildings page, making it the 27th building to disappear from Near Southeast in 2007. And I'm guessing that a few more will probably be gone before the end of the year--one definite candidate is the
DC Foreign Car garage on K between Half and South Capitol, which was purchased in July for $7.6 million as part of Opus East's $41.5 million acquisition of the
1015 Half Street project, construction of which is expected to begin in October. And, as I
recently posted, raze permits are in the pipeline for the
old Capper Seniors building at 601 L Street and the low-rise structures on
First between M and N.
