The Secret Garden

While walking from the Library of Congress to Chinatown, my friend Steph and I discovered a little resting place nearby the Capitol. It was a brick grotto with trickling fountains, a place to sit and rehydrate. (5/5/12: Found out that this place is called The Summerhouse and was designed by Olmstead in the late 19th century)
