description

Summary

Significance: L'Enfant indicated this reservation as a huge open space on his plan. Unlike most of the parks at intersections, which were acquired as part of the street system, this parcel was purchased by the federal government. Originally much larger, the reservation has been eroded by railroads, freeways, and the congressional power plant.
Survey number: HABS DC-674
