Indiana Avenue, Washington, District of Columbia, DC
Summary
Significance: Although little remains of two roadways on L'Enfant's plan that were combined in the twentieth century as Indiana Avenue, both developed early as important city streets. The west segment, originally called Indiana Avenue, linked the center market to the city municipal buildings and residences that occupied the Judiciary Square neighborhood, and the segment to the east, called Louisiana Avenue was used as part of the route from Judiciary Square to the Capitol. The two blocks that remain are now within the National Register Pennsylvania Avenue Historic District and are being developed according to the plans of PADC.
