Castle Gatehouse, Washington Aqueduct

Castle Gatehouse, Washington Aqueduct is a pumping station at the Georgetown Reservoir on the Washington Aqueduct in The Palisades neighborhood of Washington, D.C., United States. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and contributes to the Washington Aqueduct National Historic Landmark. History In 1852 the United States Congress authorized the Army Corps of Engineers to construct a water supply for the city of Washington, using the Potomac River at Great Falls as its source. Construction of a 12-mile pipeline began in 1853, and portions of the system began operation in 1859. Little Falls Branch was used as an interim source until the pipeline was completed in 1864. The water was routed to Dalecarlia Reservoir, followed by Georgetown Reservoir. Improvements to the water system in the late 19th century included the Castle Gatehouse. The gatehouse was constructed at the Georgetown Reservoir to pump water into the four-mile long Washington City Tunnel that led to McMillan Reservoir, completed in 1902. A filtration system was constructed at McMillan in 1905 and this system improved the quality of city water. Construction of the gatehouse began in 1899. The design was intended to replicate the Corps of Engineers insignia. Portland cement plaster was used to replicate stonework and give the gatehouse an authentic castle appearance. The gatehouse is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1975. See also History of Washington, D.C.

Charles C. Glover Memorial Bridge

The Charles C. Glover Memorial Bridge or Massachusetts Avenue Bridge in Northwest Washington, D.C. conveys Massachusetts Avenue over Rock Creek and Rock Creek Park. The concrete arch bridge was constructed in 1939–41 and has a length of 386.2 feet (117.7 m). History and name A much smaller iron truss bridge was built at the bottom of the valley in 1888, following the decision to extend Massachusetts Avenue beyond Florida Avenue. In 1901, this bridge was replaced with a land fill, with Rock Creek channeled through a large culvert. This in turn became inconvenient when Rock Creek Parkway was built in the 1930s. The construction of the bridge also allowed the level of Massachusetts Avenue to be raised significantly compared with the earlier bridge and land fill. The bridge was named after Charles Carroll Glover, who had played a decisive role in shaping this area of Northwest Washington and who died in 1936. On November 20, 1946, Stephen Norman, grandson of Theodor Herzl, jumped off the bridge to his death three weeks after learning that his whole family had been murdered in the Holocaust.

Christ Church (Georgetown, Washington, D.C.)

Christ Church (commonly known as Christ Church Georgetown) founded in 1817, is a historic Episcopal church located at 31st and O Streets, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Georgetown neighborhood. Its first rector was Reuel Keith (1792–1842), who with William Holland Wilmer, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Alexandria, Virginia), in 1818 founded an Education Society to train Episcopal priests. Rev. Keith left this parish in 1820 to accept a position at Bruton Parish Church and teach at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, although he later returned to the new national capital and taught at the Virginia Theological Seminary when it was founded in 1823. The current church building, built in 1885–1886, replaced an earlier church building built in 1818. The church building was erected at a cost of $50,000 (equivalent to $1,790,000 in 2025), and it opened on October 28, 1886. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The building was deemed "a very fine example of late 19th century Gothic". It has been termed a "miniature cathedral" for its "tall dominating bell tower, its stone Gothic arches and lancet windows. It is a one-story 90 by 60 feet (27 m × 18 m) structure built of red, smooth-faced brick laid in common bond, with yellow sandstone used for "window sills, buttress caps, corner blocks at gable and dormer ends, door enframements, the north gable finial and cross, gable copings for the main church and aisle dormers (though most of this stonework is covered with a protective sheet of lead), as well as the steps to the doorways." The building is also a contributing property in the Georgetown Historic District, also listed on the National Register. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, on March 8, the rector of the church informed parishioners that he was the first Washington, D.C., resident to test positive for the coronavirus. All services were canceled that Sunday. According to the assistant to the rector, this was the first time the church had closed since a fire in the 1800s. The church reported 1,189 members in 2020 and 1,589 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $1,661,319. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 352 persons.
