Que Street Girl's Profile

Love the red-checked tablecloth and the painted porch. Very nice!!

Hello all -

Glad everyone enjoyed peeking in Polly's house! She did the painting behind the dining room table as well in the bedroom.

I'm embarrassed by my mistake in the second paragraph! Polly had 2 pieces of slate cut, and she brought both with her. So it should read "(another slate top is on the two urns in the garden)." And that is why even editors need editors....

I don't think Pomander Walk is connected to the one in New York. It was renamed when its African-American tenants were evicted in the 50s so that the area could be gentrified (unfortunately, an ugly - and not uncommon - piece of Georgetown's past). It used to be called Bell's Court (I think). You can read more about it in Black Georgetown Remembered.....

I took most of the pictures and my boyfriend kindly contributed some as well.

Thank you all for reading and commenting!
