Located along the Potomac River in Washington, DC, the Kennedy Center was designed by architect Edward Durrell Stone. Overall, the building is 100 feet high, 630 feet long, and 300 feet wide. The Kennedy Center features a 630-foot-long, 63-foot-high grand foyer, with 16 hand-blown Orrefors crystal chandeliers (a gift from Sweden) and red carpeting. It is one of the largest rooms in the world. The Washington Monument laid on its side would fit in the foyer with 75 feet to spare.
