Print out your own walking tour of LeDroit Park
I have led historic walking tours of LeDroit Park for five years as part of the annual WalkingTown DC event. You can download the guide I wrote and related images and walk the tour yourself. The tour starts and ends at the arch at 6th and T Streets.

- Images A-M, and S (print in black and white)
- Images N-R, and T (print in color)
The tour, when spoken to a crowd, takes about 90 minutes. If you read it silently, you can finish it faster.
If you want to learn about the architectural details of LeDroit Park, e.g. what makes a house Second Empire, check out the excellent LeDroit Park Conserved, a preservation book about LeDroit Park produced for the District government in the 1970s.
Thank you so much Eric the walk was awesome and thanks for sharing the inf. I plan on looking more into some of the information on the many points & people you shared with us.
