Historic Neighborhood Destinations

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo attracts approximately two million visitors annually
The Woodley Park Historic District was designated in 1990 and is significant for its varied architecture, featuring the work of notable architects such as George Santmyers, Albert Beers, William Allard, and Mihran Mesrobian.
3000 Cathedral Avenue, home to the Maret School, was built in 1801 and served as the summer residence of Presidents Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, and James Buchanan.
The 834-room Omni Shoreham Hotel has hosted presidential inaugural balls, appeared in blockbuster movies, and The Beatles stayed at the historic hotel when they performed their first U.S. concert.

Great Streets + Main Streets

The area’s designation as a Great Streets corridor allows its small businesses to apply for grant funds to cover capital improvements and certain soft costs. In fiscal year 2024, there was $2.55 million available with individual awards up to $85,000.
The corridor also receives support from Woodley Park Main Street through community-based economic development and placemaking initiatives.
