Significance: This is the westernmost avenue in the L'Enfant/Ellicott plan of the city. Most of its original reservations are intact and many still feature the U.S. markers placed in them around the turn of the century to identify them as federal property. Many of its historic structures remain and it passes through five National Register Historic Districts. After the turn of the century, the axis of New Hampshire Avenue was formed into a boulevard northeast of the original boundary. This new portion of New Hampshire Avenue, not contiguous with the historic route, begins near the intersection of Eleventh Street and Park Road more than a mile northeast of the historic boundary.

Survey number: HABS DC-704
