About LeDroit Park

LeDroit Park was founded in 1873 by Amzi Barber, a wealthy businessman, who named the area after his father-in-law. The community was one of D.C.’s first suburbs and was advertised as a romantic neighborhood. It featured narrow, tree-lined roads that were given tree names, as opposed to other streets in the District which were generally named after numbers, letters, or states. And landscaping was a major focus, intended to attract residents. The community was even gated to promote security and an air of separation for residents.

Despite its creation as a segregated area, by the 1940s many elite African Americans also called LeDroit Park home. Today, the neighborhood is extremely diverse, representing a countless number of ethnic groups.

LeDroit Park today

Visitors often marvel over the neighborhood’s Victorian mansions and homes designed by famed architect James McGill. Of his 64 homes built in the area during the mid 1870s, no two were identical. Fifty still remain today.

The neighborhood prides its self on engaging residents and promoting beauty and development. The area is home to the Park at LeDroit, which includes a playground, dog park, and Common Good City Farm, a community garden and agricultural education center. The park is so impressive that Prince Charles of Wales stopped by during his 2011 visit to the States. In addition, the community is enhanced by colorful murals painted on many walls throughout the area.

Soak up all the culture and history of LeDroit Park for yourself. And for a ride there, just call Affinity Airport Sedan.

About Dupont Circle

Despite being a part of Washington, D.C.’s  “Old City,” Dupont Circle wasn’t developed extensively until after the American Civil War when a flood of new residents moved into the area. The neighborhood was named after Samuel Francis Du Pont, a rear admiral during the war.

Dupont Circle quickly became an area of prominence with mansions and townhouses lining the streets by the 1880s. The British embassy was even built here in 1872. While there was a period of decline after World War II and the 1968 riots, the 1970s saw a time of resurgence, as the area took on a bohemian air and grew in popularity with the gay and lesbian community.

Dupont Circle today

Today, Dupont Circle is a thriving area, with upscale shops, trendy coffeehouses, restaurants, and bars. In its center is a small park, which contains a central fountain, an abundance of seating, and permanent tabletop chessboards. The park is also a location for many rallies and protests.

The neighborhood is home to several research institutions, including the Brookings Institution, the Center for Global Development, and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In addition, the Original Founding Church of Scientology; the Phillips Collection, the country’s first museum of modern art; and the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, America’s oldest veteran’s organization, are all located in Dupont Circle.
