George Washington May Not Have Slept There But...

2008_07_gwash.jpgWhy can't a Williamsburg luxury rental building offer, besides a doorman and health club, a nod to the founding of the country? That's what new development The Continental does, and Curbed observes it's almost genius (besides being weird), since "the building is across the street from Continental Army Plaza, which has a statue of him at Valley Forge." No word on whether landscaping will include cherry trees. Funny sidenote: Christopher Walken as The Continental.

    many of the streets in Williamsburg are named after signers of the Declaration of Independence, so I imagine that may be a factor.

    Excellent choice to include the link to the Walken clip.
