The alleys of DC and the stables were the pulse of the city. To destroy an original stable and replace it with a building of "that looks like a stable" reveals profound ignorance of the value of architectural originality. The stables and the alleys were where the ecology of urban change occurred. Their stories reflect many lives and are living artifacts of 200 years of human experience in Washington. Historic replication is no substitute for historic preservation.
