The Kanawha (kuh-NAH-wuh) Apartment Homes is located at 3016 Dumbarton in Georgetown. One source states that Kanawha is a Shawnee word meaning “new water,” while another claims it is a Catawba word meaning “friendly brother.” Built in 1901 by L.D. Smoot. The Kanawha on Dumbarton is directly behind the Newton D. Baker House, also known as Jacqueline Kennedy House, a historic house at 3017 N Street NW. At the time the Kanawha was being built in 1901 the Newton Baker house was owned by John H. Smoot. The Kanawha property was used by Jackie Kennedy as a "Great Escape" when she lived at the Baker House after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Paparazzi would camp out in front of her home on N Street so Jackie would leave her property to a tunnel located at the Kanawha to a waiting car on Dumbarton. The escape doors can still be seen on the property. Make your own escape to a beautiful newly renovated home at the Kanawha.
