Frederick Douglass House, Anacostia

Step beyond the monuments and virtually explore one of D.C.’s most dynamic neighborhoods with Carolyn Muraskin, owner of DC Design Tours. Journey east of the Anacostia River through a rich visual narrative of historic homes, cultural landmarks, and powerful stories that reveal a neighborhood defined by resilience and reinvention. Along the way, encounter restored 19th-century rowhouses, ambitious preservation efforts, and a thriving arts scene that continues to shape the neighborhood today.

Through curated images, maps, and archival materials, visit standout sites including the Anacostia Arts Center, the Go-Go Museum celebrating DC’s homegrown music, and the iconic “Big Chair.” Explore residential streets rich with architectural detail, uncover hidden stories tucked into pocket parks and historic churches, and examine how design reflects the neighborhood’s layered past. The tour culminates with Cedar Hill, Frederick Douglass's last home, with a reflection on his legacy and lasting impact on Anacostia and the nation.
