DC Preservation League Members are invited to join us on Saturday, September 24th from 11:00am-12:15pm for an in-person tour of the Foggy Bottom Historic District, led by Co-Chair of the Foggy Bottom Association History Project, Frank Leone!
Walk with us along tree-lined sidewalks to learn about the story of what made Foggy Bottom a Historic District. The area uniquely showcases a 19th century working class neighborhood, features 130-year old alley dwellings, and streets lined with 12′-wide distinctive brick rowhouses. Learn about the area’s history, how it changed over time, what remains, and what was lost. Listen to stories of the lives of Irish and German immigrants and African American residents who made the area their home. See a reputed underground railroad stop, German brewery worker houses, one of DC’s most notorious alleys, and a 100 year old livery stable.
