If you want a selfie with the Transformers statues, you better…well…not hurry, but don’t dawdle too long: the homeowner has changed his application for approval to limit their presence to six months.
This is revealed in the May ANC agenda:
- SMD 2E05 – OG 21-157 (HPA 21-296)
3614 Prospect Street, NW (Square 1202, Lot 59)
Residence
Install two sculptures in public space for a period of six months
Permit
The writing was on the wall at this month’s Old Georgetown Board meeting. It was clear that Newton Howard was not going to get approval to keep the statues there indefinitely. However, some of the board members hinted that they’d be open to approving it temporarily. Howard appears to have taken them up on that suggestion and resubmitted the application with a time limit.
It’s unclear when the time would start ticking. Is it from January when they first went up, or upon approval of the board, which will take about a month to make its way through the full Commission of Fine Arts? That would mean the difference between them coming down in July and them coming down in November(ish).
In either event, it would appear the forces of No have stamped out another little glimmer of fun, all in the claimed interests of preserving history.
The matter won’t be discussed at the ANC meeting since it’s on the consent calendar, but here is the rest of the agenda:

The Georgetown Metropolitan 
The fun should continue in a public space where they will get plenty of exposure and attention, like the Georgetown Waterfront park. This is exactly the kind of thing that would make that park even better. I hope the Georgetown BID is thinking about it!
