SEGD

Blagden Alley is a hidden gem located between Washington, DC’s Logan Circle and Mt. Vernon neighborhoods. Inside these tucked-away streets, you will find many popular restaurants and shops such as Calico, Tiger Fork, Columbia Room, Buttercream and more! Since 2011, the multi-disciplinary design firm, Streetsense, has been involved in turning this under-utilized area into the popular DC destination. This event will begin at the Streetsense office (also located in Blagden Alley) by lead designers, Megan Capo and John DeNapoli, who will be sharing insight into the integral role that place making, interior design and environmental graphics played in creating this urban hotspot. Following the presentation, we will step outside to view a few of these places in person and ultimately landing at Calico for some refreshments.

Presidents Lincoln Cottage
140 Rock Creek Church Rd NW, Washington, DC 20011

Please join us at 6 PM for an insider’s tour of President Lincoln’s Cottage and the temporary exhibit, “America by Belief”! The project team, including client, designers and content developer, will lead the tour. 

President Lincoln's Cottage is historic site and a "home for brave ideas," where Abraham Lincoln made some of his most consequential decisions on the Union, slavery and freedom. "American by Belief: Lincoln and Immigration," a special exhibit now showing at the Cottage, explores the relationship between one of America's most revered presidents and a surprisingly pressing issue of his time—immigration. The exhibit brings to the fore personal stories from Lincoln's time and our own, encourages visitors to contribute their immigration story, and ultimately poses the question, who is American?
