Once she was grand! Right near the corner of 2nd Street and Sanford Avenue, at the northwest corner of Georgetown.
Looks like this is turning into a series. I've long been fascinated by Georgetown, and I think it's a worthwhile project to get photos of the old places before they are gone.
I asked my historian friend (Christine Kinlaw Best) about this house; she told me that it happens that she is researching this house right now, and told me this much:
"This is the 'Harris House' (aka "The Harris Nest'). [We searched] the microfilm at the Sanford Museum & found Mrs. Montez Harris' obituary. She & her husband (Frank Harris) built this home around the turn of the century & raised two daughters in the house. This house was referred to as the "Harris Nest". Their daughter, Bernice, was a teacher for many years here in Sanford. Mrs. Harris died in 1963 at the age of 85."
Thanks, Christine!

The new (May 2010) Safeway in Georgetown (Washington DC) at 1855 Wisconsin Ave NW) opened just one year after the previous store at this location closed. It is the first LEED certified (sustainability) store in DC.
According to their site...
Safeway has strong roots in the Georgetown community. Safeway began serving Washington DC by acquiring the Sanitary Grocery Company 80 years ago. Safeway operated the Georgetown Sanitary Grocery store before it changed the banner to Safeway. Later, Safeway opened its first store on Wisconsin Avenue near 34th Street. Since then, it has been replaced and enlarged twice to improve the services provided to our customers. As the fourth store in this location, the Georgetown Safeway is the urban supermarket for the 21st Century.
