Aisle Nine
Aisle Nine
Frager's Hardware,
Pennsylvania Ave.


Frager's Hardware is a friendly old-fashioned store that has everything. It  has been a local institution since 1920, and has steadily grown to occupy several adjacent buildings in a sort of rabbit warren way. There are things up these stairs and down those, in this add-on and that out building, in the back and around the corner. The main parts still consist of several rooms with old wooden floors and narrow aisles all chock-a-block floor to ceiling with wares. Each aisle has a white square painted on it with a big red number. These are all worn down, some almost completely.

Quintessential Sight

Much of the Capitol Hill neighborhood was built around the turn of the last century, and there are many very old, very big trees. It is not an unusual sight to see a mighty oak that has slowly engulfed the iron fence it was once next to, or has overtaken the curb or sidewalk.

    About
    the Artist

    Nancy Freeman is a native of California who lives now in Washington, DC. A lifelong artist, she paints portraits and other commissions for a living, which keeps her traditional skills tuned and supports her decades-old obsession with computer art, and pastel painting.

    She is currently using her 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th computers, but remembers
    when Dick Tracy had to make do with a two-way wrist radio.
