The Opportunity Shop in Georgetown has a lot of unexpected history but it has always been a good idea. Here comes Father’s Day and an “opportunity” you know what I mean? 🙂

Thank you!

What a great opportunity I had today! You’ve seen Maddy Brannon before at my listings, where she brings the best estate sales to your attention, but today we tracked her down to film a reel together.

A big thank you to Maddy for taking the time to do this with us and for always highlighting the best estate sales!

Watch this and then head over to Maddy Brannon’s profile. She will be posting the address tomorrow around 9:30 am. Unless you are in the neighborhood, then you may have already figured it out 😉

McKinley’s Buddies and a Current Redstone Renovation: One of the pleasures of digging into Georgetown history is that the past has a habit of showing up in the present. A story that started in the McKinley administration ended with a restoration project happening right now.

Along the lines of the President’s proposed National Garden of American Heroes, it’s fun to think about who I would nominate if Georgetown created its own collection of 250 statues honoring the people who shaped this place over the last 350 years.

Some choices are obvious: Ninian Beall, President Kennedy, Yarrow Mamout, and Katharine Graham.

Others are less obvious. My man Tuenis Collier would certainly make the cut, and I would nominate Carolyn Grey Townsend as well.

Townsend held important responsibilities, but she also made preserving Georgetown’s special character one of her priorities. Though she is long gone and largely forgotten today, her legacy endures. Every day, Georgetown residents and visitors enjoy the specialness she helped create, whether they realize it or not.

As for the proposed statues? Maybe we just make it a mental exercise for the moment. 🙂

I added some Jamie Peva–style/history/Georgetown hashtags and kept your text the same:

19th century Georgetown had a real middle class. Josephine Davis Leary’s father and grandfather worked as clerks in the Federal government. She graduated from Western High School (Duke Ellington’s) on 35th Street in 1896 and won a scholarship to Goucher College in Baltimore. “Backward Glances at Georgetown” is fun. When she died in 1949 at 72, there was a second book in the works, which her son had hoped to finish. I don’t think it happened. She did have 2 grandchildren, Philip Leary and Mona Ansley. I wonder if her old manuscripts are tucked away in an attic, waiting to be discovered…..

Happy Memorial Day!!

So Nancy has a new listing (I love Nancy, she is like a sister). It is a big, beautiful Federal right in the heart of the action, but still as quiet and private as you would want — not to mention the light, space, and all that good stuff, AND it has a lot of fun history, so I had to do a reel on it.

This reel is a bit of a bait and switch… or maybe even better, bait and surprise.

People love to talk about Georgetown “spite houses,” and yes, spite houses absolutely existed — just probably not here, because Georgetown has never struck me as a particularly spiteful crowd. For that, you may need to head to Charleston. 😉

But the real surprise is this wonderful new listing of mine: a house filled with genuinely fun history, original character, and that’s very easy to live in.

So excited to share my friend Kenneth Peters’s new book all about Georgetown’s retail history and the stories behind the neighborhood we know today. If you love these Georgetown deep dives, you’ll definitely want to check this one out.

And some exciting news — we’ll be at the Georgetown Library on May 16 at 2PM talking all things Georgetown history and retail. Hope to see you there!

Like the House Tour the Georgetown Garden Tour is a Rite of Spring in this neighborhood. Lucky for us, it is run by Georgetown Garden Club, and anyone who has witnessed a true garden clubber knows how hard they work and how truly devoted they are. In this reel I did not go to every house on the tour, why? Because some of these gardens are so secret that you have to buy a ticket to even know where they are!! Exciting !!

So Save the date for the 96th Annual Georgetown Garden Tour on Saturday, May 9th from 10am–5pm—a beautiful day not to be missed. Wander through some of Georgetown’s most stunning private gardens and soak in the season at its best.

Join us for the 2026 Georgetown Garden Tour. Tickets are available at the link in our bio or can be purchased day-of at Christ Church.

Violet and I have been doing these reels for two years. Why did it take so long to get Georgetown’s most famous restaurant? Well, I thought it was an obvious one—something everyone already knew: that John F. Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in the booth by the window. But that’s the thing… there is so much going on in this neighborhood, so much history. I guess we’ll be at it for a while 😊

A big thank you to , Billy, and the staff!
