    What To Expect

    Georgetown

    Historic Georgetown, originally a port city separate from Washington, D.C., was founded in 1751 and incorporated as a city with an elected government in 1789. In terms of architecture, we'll see Gothic, federal style, Greek revival, and a lot of Victorian and Queen Anne Style as well as classic brick and frame row houses. We'll learn how these styles have been preserved and protected over the years while getting some great photos along the way.

    St. John's Church

    Original plans for the church date back to the mid 1700s, but was completed in 1804. It was built by the architect of the capital, William Thorton. After years of growth followed by years of financial problems, St. John’s was closed in 1831, sold and rented as a studio to a German sculptor Ferdinand Pettrich. In 1838, a group of young ladies from the parish raised a sum of money to purchase the church building and return it to sacred use. It’s been a church ever since.
