Fri, 6 July 2007 We finally get to Georgetown, the oldest neighborhood in DC. We'll be doing this over two podcasts. We walked to Georgetown via the Foggy Bottom Metro Station, but you can also take the Circulator Bus from Union Station or along K street.
We start in front of the Four Seasons Hotel, where Pennsylvania Avenue meets M Street. We find the Chagall Mural, at 28th and N Street, then visit 2806, 2808 and 2812 N Street, Federal Townhomes from the early 19th Century, and then Julie tells us a bit about Georgetown history on the way to Mt. Zion United Methodist Church. (5:15) We visit the Dumbarton House, which once was the very edge of Georgetown. It was reworked by Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and is currently the headquarters of the Colonial Dames of America. (16:15) We visit the outside of the Oak Hill Cemetery, which contains a gothic chapel, but was closed when we visited. (19:00) We play Girls Night OUt, performed by the Virginia Group Full Minute of Mercury. It comes to us via the Podsafe Music Network. (22:00) We visit Cook's Row, Victorian Row Houses, both Second Empire and Italianate, and continue our Italianate theme with a visit to Tudor Place. (25:26) We visit the house that Jackie Kennedy lived in briefly after John F. Kennedy was Assassinated. More about the Kennedys in part 2! Then we stop by a house with a fire plaque. (32:12) We visit the Georgetown Station Post Office. (33:54) And we end up the first part of our Georgetown tour at the Old Stone House, the oldest building in Washington. (35:47) Our Theme Music is, appropriately, Garden Walk by Kim Evans. Incidental music during the walk is from find me by H. You can email us at feedback@washingtontravelcast.com.
