Beyond the Mall and the National Monuments are the historic residential and business neighborhoods that make Washington DC a vibrant city. Quaint row houses on tree lined streets give way to scenic vistas of our government institutions. Travel up Massachusetts Avenue to view the elegant embassy mansions built in Beaux-art style, or cross the Anacostia River where the abolitionist Frederick Douglass made his home within Washington DC's first suburb, Uniontown. Each neighborhood in Washington DC has a unique identity, expressed through architecture, business, and the residents.
