About National Register Listings
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.
The District was the site of one of the first major race riots in U.S. history: The Washington, D.C. race riot of 1919 was sparked by tensions between white and black residents and lasted for several days. It resulted in 15 deaths and over 100 injuries.
