RESOURCE PROVIDER
Barracks Row Main Street
For the past twenty years, Barracks Row Main Street has worked tirelessly to preserve and enhance Capitol Hill’s historic 8th Street, SE, commercial corridor and to revitalize its business community.
Eighth Street, SE, also known as Barracks Row, was the first commercial center in Washington, DC. In 1799, the Navy Yard located next to natural harbor in the Anacostia River named St. Thomas Bay. In 1801, Thomas Jefferson selected the site of 8th and I Streets, SE as the first post for the Marine Corps to protect the Navy Yard and U.S. Capitol. The neighborhood flourished for years as Washington developed, a street of successful markets and restaurants, particularly oyster houses.
