Explore 'Rear Addition on a Stately Stone House', a featured story from Landis Architects and Builders showcasing innovative projects and industry insights.
The owners purchased this stately 1931 stone house in the North Portal DC neighborhood with the goal of an addition and whole house renovation before they move in. We started the demolition in early September.
