Stone Marker, Surveyed by Benjamin Banneker and Maj. Andrew Ellicott by authority of President George Washington, dated 1796.

Mostly following Eastern Avenue, The DC line is visible running northwest-southeast through the area.

This Boundary marker is on the northeast side of the DC diamond, but it is still in Northwest because it is technically two blocks west of the US Capitol Building, where all addresses in DC originate.
