Most Endangered Places for 1999

Anacostia Historic District, SE

This site is located between Martin Luther King, Jr., Avenue on the west, Good Hope Road on the north, Fendall Street and the rear of the Frederick Douglass Home on the east, and Bangor Street and Morris Road on the south. Anacostia has been on the League's list since the program began in 1996. This site remains on the DCPL list because it continues to decline despite the efforts of community and civic organizations. For more information on this site, see the article in the Spring 1999 issue of the Reporter (Anacostia Historic District Nominated to the NTHP's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places). This site was listed on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites in 1973 and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Anacostia contains a number of vacant and critically deteriorated buildings that threaten the integrity of the historic district as well as impede revitalization of the community.
