The Portico, a beautiful outdoor area, is located directly adjacent to the O'Byrne Gallery, and offers a magnificent view of the Washington Monument. One important feature of the Portico is the covered rotunda. This area can be used for cocktails, dinner, or dancing, even when the weather isn't perfect.
