The Exorcist Steps

Georgetown, Washington DC

A Preview

"The Exorcist Steps. Ninety-seven of them — dropping sixty feet from Prospect Street to M Street below. Before the movie, people called them the Hitchcock Steps. Not because Alfred Hitchcock ever used them. Just because they looked like something he would. They were built in eighteen ninety-five for a cable car company called the Capital Traction Company."
