7.Bartholdi Park and Fountain

1st St & Washington Ave, SW • Dis. Access Google Map

This immaculate park is bursting with flowers and ornamental plants. Its symmetrical design radiates out from the fine Gilded Age cast-iron Bartholdi Fountain, a three-storey-high construction of supple human forms, European-style lights, and a non-stop flow of water (for further details see Bartholdi Park and Fountain).

8.Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument

144 Constitution Ave, NE • 202 546 1210 • Tours 11am–3pm Thu–Sat • Donation Google Map

Built in 1750 and expanded in 1800, this house is one of the most historic in Washington. It was the only private residence burned during the War of 1812 because Americans fired on the invading British from here . The completely rebuilt house was bought by the National Women’s Party in 1929 and remains their home today. Visitors can see the elaborate but homely period furnishings, as well as objects and documents fundamental to the suffragist and feminist movements in the United States. In 2016 the house was designated as a National Monument. (for further details see Belmont-Paul House).
