The Embassy of Ecuador is located at 2535 15th St NW, a block east of the others. There are many fine churches along 16th St. in Columbia Heights. They include All Souls Unitarian Church, National Baptist Memorial Church, Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church and St. Stephens Episcopal Church. They are responsible for new housing, renovated housing and apartments, shopping, recreational facilities and more. Building with brick and mortar is only half the story.
Building lives is even more important.
