Notes
  • Significance: Indicated as part of the grounds of the President's House by Pierre L'Enfant, the square was one of the first open spaces in the city to be landscaped as a public park. Adjacent to the White House, the surrounding neighborhood was home to diplomats and some of the nation's most influential leaders. Although no residences remain on the square, the park draws tourists and local office workers at lunch. Since the 1960s, it has also become a popular site for First Amendment Rights demonstrations and a campsite for the homeless. Lafayette Park stands with the Mall and Capitol Grounds as one of the most significant open spaces in Washington, D.C.
  • Survey number: HABS DC-676
