Three views of the northwest side of the Carroll Apartments/Capper Building #2, starting in October 2003 (top left), before the demolition of the apartment buildings along 4th and L streets. In December 2004 (top right), the buildings are gone, and Carroll's rear facade is visible. By May 2007, however, construction of the wraparound was nearing completion and had for months again hidden the old building's backside.

Three views of the rear of the Carroll Apartments/Capper Building #2, starting in July 2004 (top left), before the demolition of the apartment buildings at 5th and L. In December 2004 (top right), the buildings are gone, and Carroll's rear facade is visible. By September 2007, the building's exterior was long since complete, and move-ins were just a few weeks away. By late 2008 much of this view will be hidden by Capitol Quarter townhomes.
