Built in 1835, the Lock Keeper’s House near the Mall at 17th & Constitution is a remnant from when a canal ran through downtown DC. It is maintained by the NPS and needs a little love.
UPDATE!!! It was announced that the Lock Keeper’s House received $1 million dollar grant from American Express to be restored! That deserves a Kermit the Frog arms flailing in excitement:
