Jane Khoury, Certified Guild Guide, Washington DC, will be leading us in this tour.

10am Meet outside Waterfront Metro (Green Line)
Noon-ish: We will return to the Waterfront metro, but those who wish may continue their walk (about 15 minutes) to the exciting new Rubell Museum, 65 I Street, SW.

This walking tour will explore the neighborhood of Southwest Washington, the smallest quadrant of the city that was once home to a vibrant working-class community of African Americans and immigrants. In the 1950s it was a laboratory of urban renewal, resulting in notable (if sterile) mid-20th Century architecture. Today, it is home to sparkling waterfront condos on the wharf, theater at Arena Stage, as well as a diverse community of Washingtonians.
