Capitol Hill.
Limestone row houses within a short walk of the Library of Congress and the Eastern Market.
Capitol Hill is the largest historic residential district in the United States, and it behaves like one. The streets east of the Capitol preserve a grain of 19th-century row houses that is uncommon on this scale — five, six, seven miles of continuous block frontage in brick and limestone, built for the clerks and senators and family houses that followed the Congress to Washington from Philadelphia.
The neighborhood’s civic life is denser than any other in our portfolio. Eastern Market on Saturday morning, the Library of Congress reading rooms within a quarter mile of most of our residences, and the quiet bookshops along Pennsylvania Avenue SE. The trees are old and the blocks are walking.
Our Hill portfolio favors the limestone row houses of the blocks east of Fourth Street, and a small number of restored federal townhouses closer to the Capitol itself. The Capitoline, at 221 Fourth Street SE, has been in our care since 1997.
