Saint Elizabeths Tour
What could be one of the last walking tours of the Saint Elizabeths West Campus before construction begins on the new Coast Guard and DHS headquarters will be held on Saturday, September 19th. If you want to participate, you have to make a reservation.
To register, contact the DC Preservation League office by phone at (+1) 202.783.5144 or email rsvp@dcpreservation.org. They’ll ask for your name, mailing address, phone number, email address and the names of any other people that will be with you.

FYI: They are still doing tours of the grounds and perhaps some buildings as others have noted. I got a spot on the June 19th, 2010 tour. I will try to post some photos if others are interested (and if they let me take any).
The contact information listed above to get a spot on a tour is still current. I am not sure how much longer they will do the tours, but they appear to still be doing one a month.
My wife and I participated in the 19 June tour. It was a beautiful day, we had an excellent guide and commentary, although we did not see any interiors. My photos, still being culled, are on Flickr at the URL.
