HOUSE OF THE WEEK | The seven-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,850-square-foot house has many of its period features remaining.
The Moskowitzes bought the house for $37,000 in 1962 when they moved to Washington from Michigan. Jack took a job on Capitol Hill as a staff member of a Senate committee on refugees and escapees. He later worked in the Pentagon as deputy assistant secretary of defense specializing in civil rights and industrial relations. He went on to work for Common Cause and the United Way of America.
Faye’s freelance contributions to The Washington Post led to a stint writing a column in the New York Times. The first of her five books, “A Leak in the Heart,” was published in 1985. She died in February at 91. “My parents always opened up their home to anyone,” Korns said. “That was really big, especially during the Vietnam War when people came to protest. … I remember housing people up on our third floor, everywhere, making a big pot of spaghetti for everyone. But through the years, no matter who you were, if you needed a place to stay because you had an internship in D.C. or a relative passing through, my parents always opened their home up.
The Moskowitzes hired Washington architect Colden “Coke” Florance to add a skylight and a wall of windows in the music room.
