About Our Georgetown Restaurant
Historians recognize the Canal Square Building as “the birthplace of the original computer”,
long before it became a renowned Georgetown Washington DC restaurant. The building was originally
built in 1842 to serve as a shipping warehouse for barge traffic on the bustling C&O Canal.
However, the Canal Square building gained its full historical status when Herman Hollerith
converted the structure into a factory for manufacturing & printing punched card tabulating machines.
By using these machines in the 1890 census, the government was able to shave 2 years and 5 million
dollars off of the project as compared with previous censuses.
With such a success, it is no wonder that Hollerith’s Tabulating Machine Company was merged with
two others to eventually create, in 1924, the “International Business Machines Corporation”
or IBM. In 1984, IBM recognized the Canal Square Building as a historic site
