Notes
  • Significance: East Capitol Street, extending east from the Capitol, mirrors the Mall axis west of the Capitol. Pierre L'Enfant envisioned an arcaded market along the roadway, and twentieth-century planners recommended it as a ceremonial axis lined with classical-style government offices. Despite these schemes, East Capitol Street developed as a residential corridor.
  • Survey number: HABS DC-681
