One of the best features at the Hunting Creek Club has to be the balconies. The balconies are generously proportioned balcony, most with views that are as good as anything in the area.

Of course the lower balconies look onto the ground, but most of the units are higher up. Some of the units look toward Old Town or the George Washington Masonic Memorial, others look toward the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and the Potomac. If you like balconies and views, you have to consider the Hunting Creek Club.

Toward the Potomac from Hunting Creek Club.

Think of the Hunting Creek Club condos if you need an affordably price balcony with a great view.

United States Patent Office Museum

The USPTO is visible from many of the balconies of Hunting Creek Club.

Founded in 1995, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Museum serves the public need to understand the importance intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. As you might imagine, intellectual property effects nearly every aspect of our daily life. The musuem also underscores some of the innovations that have aided mankind by improving medicine, motor vehicles, and modern technology. The museum encourages and promotes future inventors to strive for excellence in invention.

If you're looking for the latest and greatest inventions get to the museum before Labor Day. Until then, twenty-five of the best inventions of 2007 can be viewed at the Modern Marvels Exhibit.

Art of Invention - Invention of Art Exhibit includes 70 works that serve a practical purpose. The first section is dedicated to inventors who pursued (or were inspired by) beauty. The section section of this exhibit features inventions that were a major factor and importance in science and industry. A few of these inventions are a part of both groups. For example the Hubble Space Telescope is an important scientific machine of discovery, but it also takes beautiful pictures of space. The museum also showcases inventions from throughout history chronicling some of the important steps we have taken in innovation.

The museum would not be complete without its own invention. The USPTO Museum features a new system of video LED strip monitors. These can be arranged at will by changing display captions. In 2005 this innovative way to display content in a museum was issued its own patent.

The USPTO museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm; on Saturday from noon to 5 pm. The USPTO museum is closed on Sundays and federal holidays.

For metro riders, the USPTO is best accessed by the King St. Metro on the Yellow Line. The museum is located at the atrium of the Madison Building of the US Patent & Trademark Office at 600 Dulany Street which is on the periphery of Old Town, near the King St. Metro, in the Carlyle District.
