[Lincolnparkdc] Lincoln Park oral history transcript

Fri Jan 10 13:56:37 EST 2025

 Emancipation was turned in 1968.  I was there with my two year old son the day it was turned from its position facing the Capitol in order to face the new monument.  I can still remember seeing it. The movement was very contrary by some long term residents.  I'm sure that the Park could provide you with additional information.

You're welcome!
Here is a survey of North Carolina Avenue that mentions the racetrack, though not what was raced on it.

 Sarah - it looks like Baist's Real Estate Atlas was published in 1903.

 Interesting that this map has the Lincoln statue further to the west than where it is now. Does anyone know if it was moved?Ken

Here's a good hyper local historical man for reference. Actually very interesting....a race track bounded by A NE and North Carolina?

I think the old map I saw showed just the East Cap portion around Lincoln Park as A St.

This is correct. East Capitol  was always East Capitol St (SE and NE)

Independence Ave used to be B Street SE and Constitution Ave used to be B Street NE but East Capitol Street was never A Street SE nor A Street NE

Diana,
East Capitol St used to be A St (and Independence was B St) so if you do internet or archive searches, that may help.

Hi Hilary, 
Thank you for sharing.  This interview was conducted by Hazel Kreinheder, who is also a long-time resident of the Hill and KY Ave.  If you have been to a KY Ave Block party, you have probably met her.  They bought their house in 1963, which, I believe, makes her the longest-living resident of Kentucky Ave., if not more than most folks on the hill.  
She shared her oral history of living on the hill, using the same outline from the “74 interview, back in 2015.  You can read her story here - https://www.capitolhillhistory.org/interviews/hazel-kreinheder.  It is quite interesting.  Hazel talks about the fires on H street during the riots, bootlegging, the creation of the Historical District (she was instrumental in establishing it), her involvement with the Capitol Hill Village, when the metro arrived. etc.  Lots of very interesting information.  
There’s so much great information on this website. I am looking forward to reading the stories of the Canales (of Easter Market fame) 
Thanks and enjoy. 
PeterKY Ave.

Hi All,
I ran across this oral history from 1974.  It mentions many neighborhood addresses which may be of interest to people on this listserv.
Cheers, Hilary
