If you're interested in architecture, you probably find DC a fascinating city. There's easily 150 years of architectural styles to be found just driving the streets and you can usually tell when a neighborhood had it's heyday by the architecture of the building. Sometimes it takes a new set of eyes to see what you've been driving past for years. Embassy Row (Massachusetts Avenue, NW) can be especially fascinating. It's the street that made me say I wanted to live here when I was just six years old! Here are just a few examples I found driving through the city on a sunny Saturday.
