Washington National Cathedral sits in north-west DC on Wisconsin Avenue. It is the site of many national events like funerals and weddings. Additionally though, the Cathedral has beautiful grounds of gardens and fields that the community leverages for running around with children, having a picnic and getting some of DC's summer sun.
The Cathedral was damaged significantly by the earthquake in August 2011 and has been fundraising still for restoration from the damage. More information can be found here: https://cathedral.org/architecture/earthquake/
I was able to be part of a group to climb to the top of the Cathedral up the rickety steps. I'm not normally afraid of heights, but the open space and rickety steps definitely made me pause. Below are images of the view from looking out of the top of the Cathedral.
