Summary
Significance: Indicated on Pierre L'Enfant's plan as a site for a federal judiciary, this area was set aside as one of seventeen parcels appropriated for public buildings. Since early in the 1800s, the site has contained a variety of government buildings. The grounds have been landscaped as a park since the late 1870s, and in 1991 it became the site of the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial.
