  • The GW Historic Walking Tour!
    Welcome to the GW Historic Walking Tour! This tour takes you to some of the most noteworthy buildings on GW’s campus, places where the traditions and rich legacy of GW have taken shape. You’ll learn which buildings played host to a children’s orphanage and a historic desegregation dispute, and will meet characters in GW’s history ranging from a world renowned physicist to a social club hostess. Today’s Foggy Bottom neighborhood was first established as the village of Hamburgh in 1763 by German immigrant Jacob Funk, almost 30 years before the creation of Washington, D.C. in 1791. During the 19th century, the neighborhood was home to many industrial shops and factories as well as small brick row houses for workers that still stand in the western portion of the neighborhood. Foggy Bottom has been the site of The George Washington University’s main campus since 1912. In that year, the University purchased its first building in the neighborhood at 2023 G St. In 1924, GW built its first academic building, and in 1937 completed construction of its first dormitory. During the World War II era, Foggy Bottom transitioned from an industrial backwater to a fashionable neighborhood with a strong business and academic center. The State Department building at 23rd and D Streets, completed in 1943, was critical to this transition, as was the continual growth of GW. By the 1950s Foggy Bottom was an upscale neighborhood with few remaining signs of its industrial, working class past. Today the architectural landscape of Foggy Bottom is characterized by 19th century row houses and former alley dwellings; larger academic, commercial, and residential buildings from the 20th century; and a proliferation of exciting new development from the late 20th and 21st centuries.
