Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Boat house

from DCPL Commons

• David Traver Adolphus said:

  Aqueduct, surely

• Amanda N. said:

  The boat house is just above the Francis Scott Key bridge in Georgetown. I think the main building you see is actually the Washington Canoe Club now, but it is very close to the Potomac Boat Club (now a private rowing facility).

Key Mansion

from DCPL Commons

• Pixel Wrangler said:

  A 16-page, illustrated brochure promoting the "Preservation of the Residence of Francis Scott Key" by the Columbia Historical Society, in 1947, can be read here. There’s interesting information concerning the history of the house (“What So Proudly They Nailed”) from the National Park Service here.

• Richie Scanlan said:

  Supposedly in the 1920's a tenant discovered a walled off area in the attic with blood stains spattered across the ceiling. Best way to find this spot today is look for the ramp across the street from the "Exorcist Stairs" going up the side of the old Georgetown Car Barn. That ramp is right about where this house was.
