Sixteenth St
Part of Pierre L'Enfant's design for the city, 16th Street begins just north of the White House across Lafayette Park at H Street and continues due north in a straight line passing K Street, Meridian Hill Park, Rock Creek Park, and the Walter Reed Army Medical Center before crossing Eastern Avenue into Silver Spring, Maryland where it ends at Georgia Avenue. Early in the city's history, many foreign countries located their embassies on 16th Street because of its proximity to the White House. Many religious denominations followed suit by building churches on the street to serve symbolically as embassies, thus earning the street the nickname "Church Row." Source: Wikipedia.
