The lime green house on conservative Wisconsin Avenue screams out "mid-century modern." Even without the name, you would know that the store sells items from that era. Furniture, home accessories, lighting and even artwork is carefully arranged in color-coordinated and beautifully balanced rooms. More store photos and information below the jump...

I really like how they have updated the very traditional exterior, but I'm with the others who said that it's very definitely not MCM.

That said, I wasn't aware that Sixteen Fifty Nine was there at all so thanks for featuring it! I'll stop by the next time I'm in the neighborhood. furnituregirl on May 21, 2009

inside is MCM but outside is older, way older and traditional. could have been built in the late 1800's by the look of it. fun interior, though dandy on May 20, 2009
