Living in Mount Vernon Triangle
People typically refer to the area around 555 Mass as the Mount Vernon Triangle. But that’s more of a modern day description for a triangular shaped historic and business improvement district adjacent to Mount Vernon Square. Together, the two communities meld into one another and are more generally known simply as Mount Vernon (which is altogether different from the Mount Vernon neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia that is home to George Washington’s original plantation).
The Mount Vernon area in Downtown DC has gone through significant changes since its origins as one of the first parts of the city to be included in Pierre L’Enfant’s original plan. The neighborhood developed gradually during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and went through major restructuring, and later went through major restructuring including the construction of the I-395 and the demolition and redevelopment of numerous old buildings, including those damaged during the Civil Rights riots.
Today, Mount Vernon offers a textbook lesson on successful modern urban redevelopment, with the preservation of notable buildings through its historic district status as well as a slew of modern structures including condominiums like 555 Mass and the massive CityCenterDC community which covers 10 acres of real estate where the old Convention Center once stood.
