The Willard Hotel [#210]

The Willard Hotel has been around for quite a while. It has survived fires and political turmoils... is part of Washington’s imaginary. Abraham Lincoln lived there until his inauguration, after several assassination threats. It’s said that the term “lobbying” had its origins here, after Ulysses S. Grant would receive people in the lobby here. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote his “I Have a Dream” speech there in 1963 (tomorrow is going to be the anniversary of the March in Washington, btw). Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens (he hated DC), Walt Whitman, among many, many others, rested under its roof. The Willard is an institution, enduring, episodic. From its round windows, one can see hoards of tourists making their way to see the monuments.
