Capitol Hill architects Judith Capen and Robert Weinstein (landlords of CHRS for office space), owners of 1220 D Street, SE, are looking to upgrade this multiunit property close to the Buchanan School development. Some members of the ANC’s Planning and Zoning Committee had issues with the owners’ desire to tear off and replace the entrance canopy – like where to draw the line on similar requests from other developers. Not sure what CHRS said about it.
