It is centered along a nine-block stretch of U Street from 9th to 18th streets NW, from the 1920s until the 1960s was the city’s black entertainment hub, called "Black Broadway"[3] and "the heart of black culture in Washington, D.C.".[4] After a period of decline following the 1968 riots, the economy picked up with the 1991 opening of the U Street metro station. Gentrification has followed and the population diversified; the neighborhood was no longer black-majority by the 2010 census. Since 2013, thousands of new residents have moved into large new luxury apartment buildings. U Street is now promoted as a "happening" neighborhood for upscale yet "hip" and "eclectic" dining, shopping and entertainment, as well as one of the most significant African American heritage districts in the country.[4] Geography and nameThe U Street Corridor is bounded by:
In addition to U Street itself, 14th Street is a major retail, dining and entertainment corridor. Retailers located on 14th near U include Room and Board, West Elm, and Lululemon. Name and identityThe area is often referred to as U Street Corridor.[4][3] but historically and currently, the area has been known by other names:
History{{See also|African American history|History of Washington, D.C.}}1862–1900: OriginsU Street is a largely Victorian-era neighborhood, developed between 1862 and 1900, the majority of which has been designated as the Greater U Street historic district. At the time of the Civil War, the area was woods and open fields. The Union command chose this area for military encampments including Camp Barker near 13th and R streets and others in what is now the Shaw neighborhood proper. The encampments were safe havens for freed slaves fleeing the South, and thus the area became a popular one for African Americans to settle.[9] After the war, horse-drawn streetcar lines opened, running north from downtown Washington along 7th, 9th and 14th streets,[10]{{Circular reference|date=March 2019}} making the area an easily accessible place to live. The lines were later turned into cable cars. Both blacks and whites lived here, gradually shifting to a predominantly African American population between 1900 and 1920.[9] The area's oldest buildings are Italianate, Second Empire and Queen Anne-style row houses built rapidly by speculative developers in response to the city's high demand for housing with the post-Civil War growth of the federal government. 1900–1968: "Black Broadway" and Hub of Black WashingtonUntil the 1920s, when it was overtaken by Harlem, the U Street Corridor was home to the nation's largest urban African American community.[11] The area was home to the Industrial Bank, the city's oldest African American-owned bank,[12] and to hundreds of black-owned and black-friendly businesses, churches, theaters, gyms, and other community spaces. Natives of the area included jazz musician Duke Ellington, opera singer Lillian Evanti, surgeon Charles R. Drew, and law professor Charles Hamilton Houston.[12] In its cultural heyday – roughly consisting of the years between 1900 and the early 1960s[12] – the U Street Corridor was known as "Black Broadway", a phrase coined by singer Pearl Bailey.[13] Performers who played the local clubs of the era included Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, and Jelly Roll Morton, among many others.[14] During Prohibition, U Street was also home to many of the capital's 2,000-3,000 speakeasies, which some historians credit for helping integrate a city long divided between black and white.[15] From 1911 to 1963, the west end of the U Street neighborhood was anchored by Griffith Stadium, home of the District's baseball team, the Washington Senators. The Lincoln Theatre opened in 1921, and Howard Theatre in 1926.[16] Duke Ellington's childhood home was located on 13th street between T and S Streets. The Green Book, a travel guide for black travelers (1933–1963) listed many sites along U Street NW by Green Book Travelers.[17] 1968–2010: Decline then redevelopmentWhile the area remained a cultural center for the African American community through the 1960s, the neighborhood began to decline following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. The intersection of 14th Street and U Street was the epicenter of violence and destruction during the 1968 Washington, D.C. riots.[18] Following the riots, and the subsequent flight of affluent residents and businesses from the area, the corridor became blighted.[19] Drug trafficking rose dramatically in the mid-1970s, when the intersection of 14th and U Streets was an area of drug trafficking in Washington, D.C.[20] Following the economic downturn the area faced following the 1968 riots, the community and DC government launched numerous redevelopment efforts. Examples include:[21]
In the 1990s, revitalization of Adams Morgan and later Logan Circle began. More than 2,000 luxury condominiums and apartments were constructed between 1997 and 2007. U Street Corridor todayRedevelopment continued further into the 2000s and 2010s,[19] along with rising concerns about gentrification.[22] Since 2013, more than 700 residential units have been added to the neighborhood in large luxury buildings with street-level retail. {{crossref-print|See #Residential below}} This represents a significant population increase versus the population of 4,572 registered in the 2010 census. In 2011, U Street NW was designated a Great Street among Great Places in America by the American Planning Association. It is said to have been selected for in recognition of the street return to its grandeur after several decades of difficulties. Once again, the street hosts the arts, food, and businesses. The community works to embrace its historical significance for the African American community of Washington, D.C. during segregation.[23] Historic landmarks and architectureThe neighborhood's landmark buildings are nearly all the works of prominent early 20th century African American architects, including:[24]
Other landmarks include:
Cultural Tourism DC has placed signs on a self-guided Greater U Street neighborhood heritage trail and operates the Greater U Street Visitor Center at 1211 U Street NW.[5] Music, arts and cultureU Street has long been a center of Washington's music scene, with the Lincoln Theatre (1922), Howard Theatre, Bohemian Caverns (1926), and other clubs like on 9th Street at Harrington's, and Chez Maurice Restaurants and historic jazz venues. The 30 Club, the Black Cat, DC9, U Street Music Hall, and the Velvet Lounge musical venues are located on the corridor, which is also home to the D.C. music collective Spelling for Bees.[28] U Street also hosts the annual Funk Parade, a festival and celebration of funk music, community arts, and creativity. Public art, street art or graffiti and murals can be found on almost every corner along U Street. EconomicsResidentialSince 2013 numerous large mixed use residential buildings with retail on the ground floor have been built into the corridor including:[29]
RetailRetailers located on 14th Street near U Street include Room and Board, West Elm, Trader Joe's and Lululemon. Public transportationThe Corridor is served by the U Street station of the Washington Metro (subway), with service on the Green Line and during rush hours on the Yellow Line as well. WMATA buses run along both U and 14th streets, and the DC Circulator Woodley Park-Adams Morgan-McPherson Square line stops at 14th and U. Capital Bikeshare and various scooter-sharing systems have stations/vehicles in the area. {{clear}}DemographicsCensus tract 44 is bounded by 14th, S, and 7th streets and Florida Av. NW, thus including the entire U Street Corridor plus four blocks east of 9th St. NW. This tract counted a population of 5,385 in the 2017 American Community Survey.[34] The official census count was 4,572 in 2010, an 87% increase from only 2,450 in 2000, thus reversing a decrease in population from 2,951 in 1990 and 3,598 in 1980. 6.8% were children in 2010, sharply down from 27% in 1990. Seniors also showed a decline at 4.8% in 2010, down from 8.6% in 1990. The foreign-born population was 18% in 2011-15, up from only 2.3% in 1980.[35] The per capita income in 2017 was est. $110,175 ±$10,961, more than double the average in D.C. ($50,832 ±$645); the Median household income was est. $166,071, more than$166,071, more than double the D.C. average of $77,649.[34] The black non-Hispanic population was 22% in 2010, sharply down from 58% in 2000 and 77% in 1990; corresponding to an increase in the white non-Hispanic population (61% in 2010, 22% in 2000, 8.7% in 1990). The Hispanic population was 9.1% in 2010, down from 17% in 2000 and 12% in 1990, and the Asian/Pacific Islander population was 6.8% in 2010, up from 1.7% in 2000 and 1.6% in 1990.[35] 2010'sSince the Census registered 4,572 residents in Tract 44 2010, population has significantly increased, for example in the largest new luxury complexes alone, 700 new residential units were added.
