Now a little bit about the history of the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood- Mount Pleasant's history reaches back into the early 1700s. Its beginnings are rooted in colonial times when, in 1727, James Holmead received a patent from Charles Carroll, Lord Baltimore, for a large parcel of land that included the area to the east of Rock Creek and south of Piney Branch. When its streets were first platted in the 1860s, Mount Pleasant was one of Washington's first suburbs offering an escape from the city- and this 5 bedroom home in Mt. Pleasant is a fine example of this today!
Since that time Mount Pleasant and the city have grown; at this time the community is surrounded by dense urban development, located just over three miles north of the White House, and situated between 16th Street and the Washington National Zoo. The neighborhood is a Historic District and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on October 5, 1987. Although few homes remain from the first phase of the neighborhood's development, there are several large, single-family homes such as his 5 bedroom home in Mt Pleasant that dat eback to the early 1900s. Many of the townhouses and smaller apartment buildings in the neighborhood also developed around the end of the streetcar line and were built between 1900 and 1925. Larger apartment buildings developed along 16th Street during the 1930's.
The small commercial district on Mount Pleasant Street is one of the best examples of its kind, a commercial district that developed at the turn-around of a streetcar line.
