3400 Water St NW

The red brick walls of the former Washington Flour Mill sit right against the Potomac River, marked by deep, arched windows that face the water. In the eighteen hundreds, this building processed grain arriving by canal boat, turning it into flour for the city. During the nineteen seventies, developers turned the heavy industrial space into office suites. A local carpenter once found a series of worker ledgers tucked inside a wall cavity, detailing the daily weight of wheat bags tallied in eighteen ninety-two.
