With the exception of the smart red awnings, the weathered bricks, and a bit of shrubbery, the old Colonial building is remarkably unchanged in this September 2009 photograph. The handsome design has withstood the test of time.

  3. I always thought it would be cool to rent an apartment there. I visited the Peace of Mind book store located on the corner of that building. I never realized that building was so old. Fifteenth street has really changed in the last 13 years.
