4747 Bethesda Avenue entrance glass being worked on again (Photos)


If this looks familiar, you've seen it before: The glass entryway at the recently-constructed 4747 Bethesda Avenue office building having some work done. Similar efforts were needed to repair damaged glass panels in October 2020 and this past January. It's unclear what the specific cause of each incident has been, with some pointing to the self-shattering/falling glass issues that have plagued several post-"Great Recession" buildings over the last decade downtown, and one reader suggesting an errant truck maneuver had caused the 2020 damage (questionable, considering there is no roadway close to the doors). All that's certain is that this glass entrance has at least three times been seen with shattered glass, blue "Xs" over damaged panels, and/or the coverings as you see here.
