Southwest "Mid-Century Modern & More" Walking Tour

Step into Southwest DC, a neighborhood with a history as dramatic as the city itself—once a thriving Black community, later leveled by “Urban Renewal,” rebuilt in a mid-century modern style. Along the way, you’ll discover mid-century modern gems by Cloethial Woodard Smith and Charles Goodman, the spot where Walter Reed uncovered the cause of yellow fever, a Titanic memorial, I.M. Pei’s first award-winning buildings, and even the theater that shaped American culture. Add in stories of fortunes made and lost, and you’ve got a walk full of surprises. Join Joseph Himali—part guide, part raconteur, and the voice behind @bestaddress on Instagram and TikTok—for a tour that makes history come alive.
