About the event
Join Joe Himali, real estate agent, architecture enthusiast, and the voice behind @bestaddress on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, for a walking tour that brings the history and beauty of one of Washington’s most vibrant neighborhoods to life.
Step into Dupont Circle, where the city’s layered past meets a dazzling range of architectural styles. Once home to Washington’s elite, Dupont evolved into a lively, storied neighborhood filled with Italianate mansions, Romanesque Revival façades, and cleverly repurposed carriage houses tucked just out of sight. Its streets are a living archive of power, ambition, reinvention — and the unexpected.
This two-hour tour covers just five blocks of Q Street but is packed with discoveries. You’ll learn to spot the architectural details that define Dupont’s character, hear stories of its historic architects, visit a prominent LGBTQ landmark, wander down a hidden alley to find a remarkable carriage house, and even uncover the reason behind D.C.’s famous height restriction.
