A brief history:

Washington Harbor is tucked away in the south-east corner of Georgetown, Washington DC.

The harbour was designed by Arthur Cotton Moore and is a combined commercial and residential building on the Potomac River.

The audacious structure hugs the waterfront and surrounds a semi-circular plaza which includes a boardwalk, tall-fountain and colossal columned lamp posts.

The harbour is a popular area for tourists and locals alike because of the variety of restaurants, shops and office space it has to offer, it's also a grand location for sightseeing up and down the Potomac River including sights such as the, Watergate Complex, Kennedy Center, Roosevelt Island & the Scott Key Bridge.
