The "Treehouse" is a proposed single family home to be built around the
Monterrey Cyprus on the edge of the parcel at 3929 19th Street.

contractor, Paul Dawson of Dawson
& Clinton sent a letter to all
of us on the block requesting support for this unique project
on our street.

proposed structure and the few concerns that we had as neighbors.
The architect has provided a set of working drawings for our
website for all to review:
