🏛️ Grant Road Historic District

The Grant Road Historic District is located in the Tenleytown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The two-block historic district is what remains of a former settlement in rural Washington County in the District of Columbia. It includes 13 contributing buildings and the road itself, a narrow remnant of a country road that was used by soldiers in the Civil War⁣⁣. Following the war, the road was named after Civil War general and president Ulysses S. Grant. Grant Road developed into a residential street lined with mostly small, two-story homes for working-class people.
