The nearly destroyed 3324 Dent Place is the oldest structure in that block. Despite a built date of "1941" that appears in DC's Real Property Assessment Database, the structure appears on late 19th century plat maps housed in the Peabody Room. As the lone wood frame home on that block it was a real survivor. I imagine the house will be razed. What an ignoble ending.

Thanks for the insight, Jerry! It sounds like it was ill-cared for already, but it does seem shame to have a historic structure see its end like that.
