Blagden Alley-Naylor Court Historic District | Significance: Named after prominent landowners of the day, Blagden Alley and Naylor Court suggest a semblance of 19th-Century DC living. The area features two of DC's few original alleys, which promoted a wider range of class among residents. While some lived in elegant townhouses, others lived in poorly constructed alley dwellings. One notable townhouse resident was Blanche K. Bruce, America's first African-American US Senator.
