Summary
Significance: K Street developed according to the L'Enfant/Ellicott plan as one of the widest streets in the city. In the northwest quadrant, it passes five of the city's major parks. The elegant mansions that lined it in the nineteenth century have been completely replaced by maximum-height modern office buildings revealing the drastic effect of a change in zoning.
