Queen City was displaced when the Pentagon was built.Nekisha Durrett's artwork revives an often-forgotten piece of Northern Virginia history.At first glance, the new public art installation in Arlington's Metropolitan Park outside of Amazon's HQ2 campus looks fairly unassuming.While quite large, , the 35-foot-tall, 15-foot-wide cylindrical brick structure with "Queen City" written boldly on its exterior looks more like an old water tower than a deeply symbolic space-until you step inside.
