The famous deer at the 'Deer House'

Included on the scavenger hunt was the deer from the “Deer House” on East Capitol Street. The house is for sale for $3.85 million, down from $4.75 million a year ago.

*****

The Capitol Hill Restoration Society has a "whimsical" scavenger hunt on their website in which you're given a large number of addresses on the Hill (along with pictures with no addresses), at which people have works of "art" in their front yards. Some of them are quite showy, some are small and rather ordinary, but we spent the afternoon tracking most of them down, and these are the resulting pictures. The society first introduced this tour last year but was again promoting it for their 2021 Mother's Day "Tour of Tours," so we thought we'd take them up on the challenge. Which it definitely was.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

My wife would happily trade one of our plant eating deer for that one. Actually she would happily send ALL of our deer to DC.
Cute capture.

This looks idyllic, but I guess a real deer might make a feast of that fine garden.

In a few years time, I will be able to afford this house !!

Quite lifelike with that twinkle in the eye and about to smell that pretty flower.....V

Neat shot - lots of places for the deer to hide V
PS Had a visit from deer last night- they'd eaten the roses, sumac, geraniums, my maple bonsai, hostas and more - uugghh !!!

Around here you get real deer in the yard for less than a tenth of the house price! (except they'd probably eat those roses!).

A beautiful vivid image Helen.

Such a lovely garden for the deer to hide in.

Nicely placed on the property. At that price I hope the deer is included!

It looks so nice surrounded by the shrubbery. V

It’s beautiful how the deer seems surrounded by nature. Excellent composition. V
The house is a bargain now.

Love how the deer looks like it is nature. Wonder if the deer is included in the sale.

I hope it's included in the sale! The gardens look very lush.
The pandemic seems to have accelerated the move away from city living.
