This area experienced substantial development in the mid- to late-nineteenth-century as the city©s growing population expanded north of the established urban core. Today, the greater 14th Street area represents the precursor to the subsequent development that created the northwest quadrant of the original city. As one of the first areas in northwest Washington to respond to the development pressures of the young city, the 14th Street environs illustrate the patterns of transportation-based development. In addition to providing important historical perspectives on the city©s growth, the area survives with significant examples of its history intact. This major commercial and transportation corridor is flanked by intact rows of Victorian housing and commercial buildings punctuated by important local churches and public buildings, grand and discreet turn-of-the-century NFS Form 10-900 (Rev. 11-90) OMB No. 10024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET The Greater Fourteenth Street Historic District, Washington, D.C.

Boschke.Boschke. Library of Congress, Geography/Map Division. GREATER USTREET HISTORIC DISTRICT Once described as a “city within a city” for its early-to-mid- 20th-century days as Washington’s preeminent African-American community, the Greater U Street Historic District is currently a thriving residential and commercial neighborhood of northwest Washington. The district’s main artery, U Street, flows through the center of the neighborhood, offering a variety of stores, restaurants, small businesses, night clubs and other entertainment venues in renovated 19th and early 20th-century buildings. Some of these buildings, which today cater to a diverse crowd of residents and tourists, were built by and for the African-American community as fraternal organizations, theaters, and jazz clubs, earning U Street its national designation as “Black Broadway” and a reputation as a center of African-American life. Leaders in the civil rights movement, law, education, music, the arts, and humanities were residents, founders, and frequent patrons of U Street and its establishments. On all sides of U Street, the surrounding grid of streets is defined by cohesive collections of 19th-century residential row houses punctuated by individual churches, corner stores and schools. These buildings, the majority of which were built between 1870 and 1905, are typical of the city’s post-Civil War speculative development and preceded the area’s rise as the center of Washington’s African-American community.

  • District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites
    DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA INVENTORY OF HISTORIC SITES The D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites is the official list of historic properties maintained by the Government of the District of Columbia. These properties are deemed worthy of recognition and protection for their contribution to the cultural heritage of the city that is both national capital and home to more than a half million residents. The Inventory had its beginnings in 1964 and remains a work in progress. It is being continually expanded as additional survey and research supports new designations and more complete documentation of existing listings. At present, there are about 600 entries, covering more than 535 landmark buildings, 100 other structures, and 100 parks and places. There are also about two dozen designated building clusters and another two dozen neighborhood historic districts encompassing an estimated 23,500 buildings. Complete professional documentation of such a large number of properties to current preservation standards is an extensive undertaking that is still incomplete. For this reason, some listings in the Inventory provide a full description of the historic property, while others provide outline information only. Organization: The layout of the Inventory is designed to promote understanding of significant properties within their historic context. Designations are grouped by historical time period and theme, rather than being listed in alphabetical order. For organizational purposes, the historical development of the District of Columbia is divided into six broad historical eras, with separate sections on early Georgetown and Washington County, the port town and outlying countryside that were separate legal entities within the District for most of the 19th century.
