1. CAPHIL_110401_44.JPG: John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) author, bandmaster, composer of Stars and Strips Forever, Washington Post, Semper Fidelis, and other famous marches, was born in this house on November 6, 1854 Capitol Hill Restoration Society 1964

3. CAPHIL_110401_58.JPG: Tour Of Duty: Barracks Row Heritage Trail Stop #13: In The Alley: F Street Terrace, SE You are standing in one of Washington's remaining inhabited alleys, behind the buildings that front G, E (there is no F Street), Sixth, and Seventh streets. In 1897 the alley had 22 tiny dwellings sheltering well over 100 people. Today six remain, to the right of this sign across the alley on Archibald Walk and the adjacent alley. In 1841 Samuel A. H.Marks, Sr. (1818-1885) built his home at 630 G Street with stables and workshops on the alley behind the house. He practiced law and sold metal work crafted here from his hardware store at 641 E Street, which backs onto the alley. His major client was the Marine Corps. A popular figure,Marks was known as the man who trained his dog to run between his two front coach horses as he drove Capitol Hill's streets. By 1900 the prolific builder Charles Gessford and others had added the tiny brick houses on Marks Court (now the parking lot) and here along F Street Terrace. William A. Simpson (1864-1948) bought Marks's properties around 1900 and expanded the stables for his Walker Hill Dairy, which delivered Frederick County, Maryland, milk to area doorsteps until 1929. Eventually eight alley houses were razed for the warehouse across from this sign. The warehouse has served as Shakespeare Theatre's set and prop shop and a woodworking studio. In 1952, after city authorities complained about squalid conditions, most of the dwellings were razed for the parking lot. The six survivors are now prized residences along Archibald Walk, named for long-time Capitol Hill resident Archibald Donohoe.

Wikipedia Description: Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Capitol Hill, aside from being a metonym for the United States Congress, is the largest historic residential neighborhood in Washington D.C., stretching easterly behind the U.S. Capitol along wide avenues. It is one of the oldest residential communities in Washington, and with roughly 35,000 people in just under two square miles, it is also one of the most densely populated.

As a geographic feature, Capitol Hill rises in the center of the District of Columbia and extends eastward. In the 18th century the hill was called Jenkins Hill or Jenkins Heights by Pierre L'Enfant in 1791 as he began to develop his plan for the new Federal City. He chose to locate the "Congress House" on the crest of the hill, facing the city, a site that L'Enfant characterized as a "pedestal waiting for a superstructure." But it is important to recall that the site of the Capitol is located on a tract of land that had for many years belonged to the Carroll family and was noted in their records of ownership as "New Troy." While it was rumored that a man named Jenkins had once pastured some livestock at the site of the Capitol (and thus his name was associated with the site), artist John Trumbull, who would paint several murals inside the Capitol's rotunda, reported in 1791 that the site was covered with a thick woods. Hence it was unlikely that any livestock had ever grazed there and further Mr. Jenkins must have grazed his cows somewhere else.

The Capitol Hill neighborhood today straddles two quadrants of the city, Southeast and Northeast, and a large portion is now designated as the Capitol Hill historic district. The name Capitol Hill is often used to refer to both the historic district and to the larger neighborhood around it. To the east of Capitol Hill lies the Anacostia River, to the north is the H Street corridor and to the south is the Southeast/Southwest Freeway and the Washington Navy Yard.

2011 photos: Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
