What an interesting old house

Washington, D.C., circa 1918. "Old house, Md. Ave. N.E. Built by Thomas Taylor in 1876."

Found at Shorpy, so you can enlarge the image to explore the details of the architecture, the steep pre-lawnmower-era lawn with forlorn trees, the bizarre lawn ornaments, the horse manure in the street...

But what a wonderful house.
