by the Archdiocese of Baltimore, to make a "nicer" entryway for the nearby Basilica. To think that a city has so many buildings that this one can just be thrown away. There is not one apartment building this grand in the area south of New York Avenue NE and north of M Street SE. Granted, there are plenty in the northwest quadrant, almost more than you can count, but not in the northeast and southeast quadrants of DC.
