As part of a full-block revitalization in Germantown, C2 converted a former 1800s store and apartment into a modern, single-family home.
Dating to the late 1800s, the narrow, wood-framed structure at 64 Queen Lane featured a ground-level retail storefront with a living space above. The smallest of the block’s four projects, the renovation incorporated two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths in a traditional rowhouse-style configuration.
Like the other homes on the block, 64 Queen Lane features bright, light-filled interiors and thoughtful built-in storage, such as the kitchen niche tucked within the wall framing. The exterior’s original display window, brackets, and detailing were retained to recall the structure’s history.
The comprehensive Queen Lane project involved restoring three deteriorated structures and building an infill fourth home. The undertaking was an opportunity to stabilize the block – less than a mile from the C2 office – and make an architectural statement that even the most deteriorated structures have inherent value.
