This historic riverfront community is one of the city's oldest 19th-century neighborhoods. Often referred to as the West End, Foggy Bottom was once a community of Irish, German, and African American neighbors employed at the nearby breweries, glass plants, and the city gas works.
Today you can still find a few intimate enclaves of historic houses and sacred 
places such as St. Mary's Episcopal Church
and the Concordia German Evangelical Church. These historic structures cluster in the middle of a neighborhood now better known for the John F. 
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,
the massive Watergate apartments and hotel, and The George Washington University, home to Lisner Auditorium.
