The historic Anacostia neighborhood in Washington, DC flaunts its classic character within its businesses and architecture. This residential community consists of Italianate and cottage-style houses along with a few scattered Queen Anne homes and brick-row houses. The heart of the neighborhood sits directly across the Frederick Douglass Bridge.
Anacostia has two excellent museums, a growing art scene and a year-round ice rink, and it attracts residents with the Washington Nationals Stadium and its well-known landmark, the World's Largest Chair. The intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Good Hope Road marks Downtown Anacostia. Located five miles southeast of Washington, this area stands as one of the most famous neighborhoods in the southeast area of the city. The Anacostia Historic District took its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
