County Votes to Demolish Historic 'Deep Throat' Garage

One of the most historic U.S. journalism sites will vanish after a Virginia county board voted to demolish the building and parking garage central to the Watergate political scandal of the 1970s.

 

The Arlington County Board agreed on Saturday to raze the Rosslyn garage where FBI official Mark Felt secretly met with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward during the Watergate scandal. The investigation led to President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974.

 

Felt was known for decades as Woodward's source "Deep Throat."
