Was this location used in the original ‘The Exorcist’?@leemeade@mastodonapp.uk no, that was another famous DC staircase, in Georgetown, now universally known as the “Exorcist Steps”.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification.

Washington DC is not a city of many notable inclines, and so lacks the proliferation of “step streets” found in places like San Francisco and The Bronx. Most famous are Georgetown’s Exorcist Steps (so named for the fatal effect they have on members of that profession), and, shown here, Kalorama’s Spanish Steps, which occupy 22nd St NW between S and Decatur.
