A Historic Overview of Mount Vernon Square/Triangle

There are two Mount Vernon neighborhoods in Downtown Washington DC—Mount Vernon Square and its historic district and Mount Vernon Triangle which also has a historic district. Mount Vernon Square was originally a public square and meeting place that was indicated on the original planning map of the city. When the city’s grand avenues were created, New York Avenue and Massachusetts Ave cut through the square. In 1882, the public square was made whole again, by demand of local residents. The small neighborhood adjacent the original park square is also known as Mount Square. The Mount Vernon Triangle is both a community improvement district and a business improvement district bound by New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts Avenues. It lies immediately east of the square.

The Mount Vernon area has seen large scale changes over the years. A first wave of redevelopment occurred during the post-World War II era, with a second wave in the 1970s and 1980s, and the most recent reconstruction period beginning in the mid-2000s. While many of the original row houses, apartment buildings and hotels have been razed, there is now a core number of old structures that have been saved and preserved through the historic districts.

Today, the Downtown Mt. Vernon area has a renewed energy and vibrancy, with new upscale buildings dominating the skyline, interspersed with some classic examples of 19th century architecture. When people discuss the area, they often describe newer buildings as being inside the Mount Vernon Triangle, as that geometric shape aligns with both commercial and residential improvement.

Things to Do in the Square and Triangle

Mount Vernon Square is one of DC’s best known public squares, with trees and grassy areas plus well-known attractions like the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the renovated Carnegie Library. Other things of interest include the National Museum of Women in the Arts, several popular yoga studios, a Busboys and Poets, live entertainment at Sixth & I Synagogue, and a number of exciting new restaurants such as RPM Italian, Chesapeake at Estuary, Ottoman Taverna and Prather’s on the Alley.
