The Godey Lime Kilns, also known as Washington Lime Kilns, are an historical industrial building ruin, located beside the Rock Creek Parkway, near 27th Street and L Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood. ==History== Located on the east bank of Rock Creek, at the terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, the kilns produced lime for construction of the city of Washington, D.C. Built in 1864, by William H. Godey, the site originally included four wood-fired ovens that were used to make lime and plaster, from limestone. Godey's business closed in 1908. A partial restoration was completed by January 1, 1967. The remains were added to the National Register of Historic Places, on May 22, 1973. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Godey Lime Kilns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
