My Employment Neighborhood.

For the past 26 years I have worked in the building behind where this stood in the 1600 block of I St NW. The 1920's saw the movement from residential to business usage in this area just north of the White House. When the Old Executive Office building was the War Department, many of the residents where military generals. Gen. McClellan lived on the northwest corner of 17th and I Street, for instance.
