Capitol Hill

East of the Capitol building is Washington DC's largest residential historic community. Each street contains a variety of row house designs and styles, beginning with modest duplexes of the mid-1800's and ending with the press brick manor houses of the early 1900s. Lincoln Park, the East Capitol Street Carbarn and Eastern Market (which is the oldest operating public market in the city) make the neighborhood feel alive even when Congress is not in session.

The US Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the Library of Congress form the typical impression of the neighborhood. But beyond the federal superstructures, Capitol Hill is home to the Folger Shakespeare Library, Union Station, Capital Children's Museum and the National Postal Museum.
