I like the concept of Jolie-Laide: Beauty and the Beast. While Montgomery County undoubtedly has a burdensome share of beastly buildings, some so crystallize the product of their time that they rise above. Taken head-on it is not much to look at, but obliquely the minimally monikered (sorry) Silver Spring’s “Garage 2”, at the intersection of Fenton Street and Cameron Street, is a civic building with moments of majesty that reminds me of Peter Behrens 1909 Tubinenfabrik in Berlin.
For your delectation:
