Before there was Washington, there was George-Town. From its humble 18th century beginnings as a tobacco port to its present day reputation as one of the city’s finest neighborhoods, Georgetown is like no other place in town.  This photo tour will take us though the historic streets, showcasing two centuries of American domestic architecture, stories of the people behind the facades, and above all, a chance to capture Christmas done the old fashioned way. Highlights will include beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery, the famous windows of Martin’s Tavern, landmark homes, and the much-loved Creche exhibit next to Dalghren Chapel, inside Georgetown University.

The excursion is being led by Clift A. Seferlis, architectural photographer and licensed tour guide. Clift, who is a native Washingtonian, has been photographing architecture and the built environment for close to 20 years. He has exhibited both in Washington, DC & New York City with works purchased for private and corporate collections. His work can be found in the new edition of the 1974 landmark book on Washington's outdoor sculpture.
