Wikipedia Description: Mount Vernon Triangle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Vernon Triangle is a neighborhood and community improvement district in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. Originally a working-class neighborhood established in the 19th century, present-day Mount Vernon Triangle experienced a decline in the mid-20th century as it transitioned from residential to commercial and industrial use.

The exception was Douglas Row, three large homes built in 1856 by two senators and Vice President John C. Breckinridge.
