Q: What is the association with automobiles in this area, and why is the street named Church Street?

The Logan Circle Backstory

While Lofts 14 and other condos along Auto Row on Church Street reflect a new contemporary sensibility, the neighborhood itself dates back to Washington’s formative era. The District’s original architect, Pierre L’Enfant, included the neighborhood in his original planning. It didn’t have a name at the time—it was simply an area that L’Enfant divided up with planned major avenues running diagonally and other streets running in north-south and east-west grids. The streets and avenues were unnamed at the time and what would later become the inner traffic circle was shown as more of an open triangular space on the planner’s first map.

During the Civil War, the neighborhood was home to Camp Barker. Around that time the circle was constructed as Iowa Circle and was later renamed Logan Circle in homage to Union general and Illinois house representative John A. Logan. Residential development in the neighborhood began to pick up after the war with a concerted building boom from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. There’s still a wealth of row houses and grand apartment buildings that have converted to condos and co-ops for sale. Among the prevalent design influences are Federal, Victorian, Beaux Arts, Neo-Classical, Richardsonian Romanesque and Second Empire.

Today’s Logan Circle offers a fascinating cross-section of old and new, from hipster industrial lofts to restored antique buildings. The neighborhood is highly walkable, as indicated by its Walk Score of 96 and Bike Score of 95. For those desiring a vibrant residential community that is on the cusp of urban Downtown DC to the south, Logan Circle is perfect!
