"L'Enfant Plaza and the Southwest EcoDistrict" Walking Tour

"L'Enfant Plaza and the Southwest EcoDistrict" Walking Tour

Residents of Washington, D.C. may know L'Enfant Plaza as a pedestrian-unfriendly area near the National Mall. But it's scheduled to become one of the next big things in the near future, with the National Capital Planning Commission refashioning and rebranding the entire area as the SouthwestEco District. On the "L'Enfant Plaza and the Southwest EcoDistrict" walking tour, you'll get to discover this little-understood, yet fascinating section of the city, a place where the federal government, Mid-century modern architecture, transportation and historic buildings all come together with ramps, open spaces and pocket parks -- and a six-acre memorial to President Dwight D. Eisenhower coming soon.
