From Reston Historic Trust - "In May of 1963, Reston's first residential sales office, known simply as the "Roundhouse", started pushing up its walls on the hillside overlooking Route 606. It was located on the road which was at that time the sole entrance to the growing village center from the highway."
ReplyDeleteSo it built itself?
Just more credence to the theory it was Not Of This (Earth Toned) World
DeleteThe physical evidence that Bob Simon is actually Evolutionary Level Bob, spiritual founder of the Heaven's Gate cult, was always tenuous at best.
ReplyDeleteThis photographic evidence of Evolutionary Level Bob's Reston-based pod now proves it.
It's interesting to know that first step in Recyling Planet Earth began in Reston...

In 1986, the building became the home of the Reston Montessori School. The school relocated to Isaac Newton Square around 1990, and the "Roundhouse" was torn down shortly thereafter.
ReplyDeleteNow we know! Thanks for the info.
DeleteI went to Montessori in the 1970s in that vicinity. Unless it was still being used for the sales office in the mid-70s, I feel that it must be the same building.
