Fencing Upgrade on Navy Street
We’re probably a little more focused on this story than it deserves, but we’re going to see it through! This photo shows the third iteration of fencing to protect passers-by from the brick wall and the Timber Shed that sits on the other side of it in a state of increasing decay. More Barricades on…

the Navy Yard should spend money to restore houses that no one can live in legally instead of creating space for jobs with their money? kinda of a charter violation someone else needs to pay for it as bkre said
werener – that’s unfair. It’s the Army Corps (or Army National Guard) policy. The City doesn’t own it. When they started this whole process back in the 80’s (yes, it goes back that long). They City asked the Feds to give them the property but to restore it first, or to give the city funds to restore it. The Army’s response was “we’re looking for the funding – we’ll get back to you” And then 30 years went by….
Of course the cities strategy in regards to all of historic Admiral’s Row has been and will keep on being demo by neglect. Enjoy!
somebody right their bike up that street a lot?
I guess it’s too obvious to ask why they don’t just shore up the Timber Shed, then they won’t need to spend piles of money that could go to the restoration of the shed on fencing. The last (extremely disappointing plan) was to save the shed, as it is the last of its kind. So get on it, already.
Or is it the old demolition by neglect ploy? “We really wanted to save the (stupid pile of wood) historic Timber Shed, but (because we let it rot for years) it was just impossible! So sorry.” (crocodile tears).
