Northeast

The northeast quadrant is located east of North Capitol St. and north of East Capitol St. Notable landmarks within the NE quadrant include the U.S. Supreme Court, as well as Capitol Hill. Throughout Jones’s stories his characters often travel back and forth between the NE and NW quadrants, especially through the neighborhoods that cross the boundary.

H Street Corridor Washington, DC’s H Street NE corridor was built in 1849. Streetcars followed 23 years later, creating a successful business center and encouraging development in the neighborhood.
