Construction continues brick by brick at the future Montgomery County 2nd District police station on Rugby Avenue in downtown Bethesda. The station will replace the current one at the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Montgomery Avenue, which developer StonebridgeCarras plans to redevelop as a hotel and office project.

ReplyDeleteAlong with 4630 Montgomery Avenue.
And the Carpet Palace at 7351 Wisconsin Avenue, too. Bye-bye, blue spandrel glass!
ReplyDeleteFunny that this is a police station cause it looks like a prison. Ugliest building in town. The Beverly Hills Police Station is so nice that it's been used for exterior shots for countless films. The point is, a police station need not be ugly and drab. A move in the wrong direction from the also ugly existing location.
ReplyDeleteThe ugly and drab side shown is the one facing the County parking garage across the alley. (Odd that Robert Dyer did not mention this.) I suspect that the other three sides, especially the one fronting Rugby Avenue, will look better when they are complete.
