Northern Virginia Living: Lake Anne Plaza, Reston VA ⛵️ | the Original Reston Development 🏠

"Lake Anne Center was the first village center created in the planned community, and features a mix of commercial and residential buildings around a plaza and inlet of Lake Anne, a man-made reservoir. The village center was designed by Reston's master planner and architect James Rossant of New York City for Robert E. Simon and built 1963-67. At the time it was considered a showcase of modern community planning; architecturally, it is composed mainly of modestly scaled Brutalist structures, including residential townhouses, mixed commercial-residential buildings, and a church. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017."

I love Reston. I lived there when I was very young. Thanks for the trip down memory lane

There are at least two entrances to a vast area under that plaza that was intended to be used as a fallout shelter.
