Foggy Bottom House History Webinar

The Foggy Bottom Historic District is a unique four-block tree-lined neighborhood whose rowhouses reflect its late 19th Century Irish, German and African American working-class heritage. The neighborhood also reflects demographic and other changes wrought by urban renewal, highway construction, George Washington University expansion, and multi-unit development. The Foggy Bottom Association History Project House Map is an interactive map that brings together the neighborhood’s property, census, city directory and historic map data. This presentation will review Foggy Bottom’s unusual history, explain the genesis of the House Map project, and illustrate the map’s use as a tool to discover the neighborhood and its transitions over time – layer by layer, house by house.
