After an extensive rehabilitation project, the Dupont Circle Fountain is flowing again. Now properly balanced and waterproofed, the fountain will run until cold temperatures required it to be winterized. #WashingtonDC

Steve! if you get the chance get a tour from @dcdesigntours, went to DC last month (1st time) Pam and I toured the history of Georgetown and the Exorcist! Don't forget to get your reader card from the @librarycongress and look for their cafeteria, there be tunnels there
Great story we cover on our Iconic Capitol Hill tour!
After years of renovations, Union Station reopened to the public. Union Station had seemed doomed in the 1970s when railroads were in decline. Congress approved the $181 million renovation project in 1981 to restore the station to its former glory.

We’ve been on cherry blossom watch here at @librarycongress, waiting for our 100-year-old cherry blossom trees to bloom. It is looking beautiful today.
We are home to two of the original group of 3,020 Yoshino cherry trees given to Washington, DC, in 1912, by the city of Tokyo.
Such a fun bunch on our DC driving tour yesterday!

It's happening! Small green buds are on the Yoshino cherry trees, marking the first of six stages on the way to peak bloom.

IT HAS BEGUN! 🌸 Some of our cherry trees are already flowering here in DC. We may have a record breaking peak bloom this year, likely around mid-March, so join one of our bloom tours early at dcdesigntours.com.

William Sidney Pittman! A short 🧵: Pittman’s mother was enslaved in Alabama, where he was born in 1875. He attended Drexel Institute on a scholarship as the only POC at the school. He then taught architecture at Tuskegee before moving to DC, where he opened his own practice…
This is a great thread all about one of my favorite architectural styles!
