About this Event

Southwest Washington has a long and interesting history. One of the first neighborhoods to be developed. It became a thriving community for Black Washingtonians and then was destroyed by "Urban Renewal." From there it fell on tough times again until the Warf redeveloped it yet again.

Southwest is known for some of the finest examples of mid-century modern architecture in Washington. We'll walk walk by some of the most interesting buildings and talk about their history and architects. We'll also see some of the oldest rowhouses in the entire city.

The tour is led by Joseph Himali, a raconteur, who is well known through his Instagram and TikTok accounts (@bestaddress).
