  1. Isn’t that the Naval Observatory of Mass Ave? For as close as the photos are, that might be down the street from AU by a fair amount. Some beautiful homes.

  2. B’Dale beat me to this. Yes, I’d say it’s definitely down closer to where the Cathedral is, maybe around Wisconsin and Macomb or Woodley.

  3. I figured it out, I think. (Thanks for the opportunity to procrastinate.) It’s Wisconsin Avenue between Fulton and Edmunds. The two prominent houses on the far right, on Wisconsin, are still there (see Bing maps birds-eye view).
