Henry Winston and the Watergate Scandal Legacy


Henry Winston was the President of the Watergate at the time of the infamous break-in 40 years ago. He was in charge of leasing and managing the office building.

He leased the space to the Democratic National Committee that was the target of the Watergate building.

Henry Winston, President and Founder of Winston Real Estate, as well as the President of Watergate Improvement, stored the "taped" door which was the first sign of the break-in.

Please check out this article we found in the L.A. Times reminiscing the Watergate Scandal and the fall of Nixon.
