Location

Please join the Octagon Museum, and other Neighbors to the President Consortium sites, for a half-day walking tour of the Presidential Neighborhood. This is a rare opportunity to visit the interior of several hard-to-access buildings for special insights into the architecture and design of these historic landmarks.

The afternoon tour (1:30p - 5:00p) will cover the more recent architecture of the Organization of the American States campus, the Federal Reserve Board - both designed by Paul Philippe Cret, and the Department of the Interior. From the Art Museum of the Americas, the design of the Main OAS building , the AMA, and the garden will be discussed. The Federal Reseve Board is considered one of Washington's best kept architectural secrets. After Federal Reserve, the afternoon will end with a tour of the Department of the Interior, constructed during the "New Deal" using a stripped classicism motif.  A discussion of the design of the Corcoran Gallery of Art will be included as well.

Tour Start: The Octagon Museum.
Check In: 1:30p - 1:45p
