Delaware Avenue, Washington, District of Columbia, DC
Summary
Significance: This avenue was intended to provide vistas and access to the Capitol Grounds from both the northeast and southwest. The 1908 construction of Union Station reinforced its importance as an access to the Capitol, but covered the roadway northeast of the station with railroad tracks. Urban redevelopment of the 1950-70s and the construction of the Southeast Freeway closed several blocks of the avenue in the southwest quadrant to traffic, but for the most part, the right-of-way remains open space.
Survey number: HABS DC-699
