Part of the old and new. Historically Water Street was at the waters edge, and a place of industry. Large wood processing, metal working, ship building and repairs as well as docks, cargo movement, warehouses, and a host of infrastructure that supported importation of world traded goods entering into the mainland of the Carolinas and raw commodities offered for export. Washington was a hub of colonial to state economics from the 1770’s into the 20’th century. The location and opportunity helps to explain why Washington was so special to have survive to today. Walk the board walk reclaimed by the sea wall infrastructure (circa 1960-1970) that changed water street from a muddy swamp road to the paved road and pedestrian walkway. One of the oldest parts of Washington, look for the pair of civil war cannon balls, one true the other faux.
