SUMMARY:Walking Tour: The Unique Architecture & Historical Figures of LeDroit Park
DESCRIPTION:LeDroit Park was developed in 1873 as an exclusive white “suburban” enclave.

Cooper\, Mayor Walter Washington\, Sen. Edward Brooke\, Rep. Oscar De Priest\, Paul Laurence Dunbar\, Mary Church Terrell\, Duke Ellington\, and Rev. Jesse Jackson. See unique 19th-century houses built in 12 distinct architectural styles. \nThis tour will be led by Eric Fidler\, a former president of the LeDroit Park Civic Association who helped establish the LeDroit Park/Bloomingdale Heritage Trail historical markers that stand beside the sidewalks in both neighborhoods. The National Building Museum features Eric in a video on the history of LeDroit Park in the House & Home exhibit. He has lived in LeDroit Park for 16 years. \nThe tour will start and end at the LeDroit Park Arch at 6th St & Florida Ave NW. \nDCPL Member Tickets are $15 | Non Member Tickets are $25 \n**Please Note** DCPL members must be signed in to their DCPL online account in order to receive the member ticket price.
