Welcome and thank you for visiting CapitolHillDC.com, a guide to Capitol Hill for residents and visitors. Capitol Hill is the oldest and largest residential historic district in the District of Columbia. Capitol Hill's landmarks include not only the United States Capitol, but also the Senate and House office buildings, the Supreme Court building, the Library of Congress, the Marine Barracks, the Washington Navy Yard, and Congressional Cemetery.

It is, however, largely a residential neighborhood composed predominantly of rowhouses of different stylistic varieties and periods. Side by side exist early 19th century manor houses, Federal townhouses, small frame dwellings, ornate Italianate bracketed houses, and the late 19th century press brick rowhouses with their often whimsical decorative elements combining Richardsonian Romanesque, Queen Anne, and Eastlakian motifs.

The main non-residential corridor of Capitol Hill is Pennsylvania Avenue, a lively commercial street with shops, restaurants and bars. Eastern Market is a public market , where vendors sell fresh meat and produce. It is also the site of an outdoor flea market every weekend. Barracks Row, so called because of its proximity to the U.S. Marine Barracks, is one of the city's oldest commercial corridors.

The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (CHAW) is a community-based, not-for-profit organization created for those who are interested in sharing their artistic expertise with children and adults.A new addition to Capitol Hill is the Community Center aptly named Hill Center. Hill Center is a vibrant space for cultural, educational, and civic life on Capitol Hill.

Recent estimates suggest as many as a third of all Members of Congress live on Capitol Hill while in Washington.
