A Century Of Progress
Along Seventh Street

M streets, its exact location being
snort distance west of Sixth street and
about midway between L and M streets
This general area was also early known
as the White Oak Slashes, and where
the Public Library stands was once
part of Tommy Jenkins farm.
There were few houses in this neigh
borhood up to the latter part of the
30s, and speaking of the conditions of
this vicinity and particularly of Mount
Vernon Square about this time an early
writer of The Star said:
I'm fact, north of it, with the ex-
ception of the Washington Asylum (the
poorhouse) there was not much sign of
improvement to be found other than a
pretense of keeping the wagon road
of Seventh street in such a condition
as to be used; for that street was,
OF course, as now, the route to Mont
gomery County, and during the days
Of the cholera epidemic it was much
used by hearses and wagons bearing
away the victims of the dreaded disease,
who were buried short distance north
OF the asylum"
Incidentally, the poorhouse was on

and Seventh streets NV, which was

Preparation for civilian life seems to
be the main thought in the minds Of
the 3,7o0 girls in WAVE Quarters ID"

These days they spend their spare time
in the sewing room turning out brightly
colored dresses and in classroonns study

Quarters 80" is the largest WAVE
barracks in the United States. 1t covers
40 acres of land. 1t is composed of SO
buildings. 1t was the first installation
to be built specifically for WAVES.
The barracks started out nearly three
years ago for girls working in the Com
munications Center housed across the
street in the old Mount Vernon Sem
mary. Now WAVES working In naval
offices all over town live there. The
end of the war has had little effect on
the administration of the barracks,
since as other WAVE quarters all over
the city are closed, girls still on duty
are transferred there.

Seventh street Northwest, as we look
at 1t today, is certainly a much different
thoroughfare from what it was a CEN
tury ago. Indeed, looking back into the
past, an early Washingtonian said that
about 1882, Three or four blocks from
Pennsylvania avenue older Washingto-
mans got on to the common and here
squatters built their hogpens, and the
men and boys worked at anything they
could get to do, while the women and
girls herded the cows and minded the
geese. 1t was profitable, and these
humble folk were the ancestors of some
of our solid Muldoons
"On the west side of Seventh street
there was only one house between New
York avenue and the Boundary, as
Florida avenue was then called. That
was bakeshop at N street. Eslin's
brick kiln stood on the southeast cor
ner of the Boundary and Seventh street
The troops used it during the Civil War
to set their targets against"
Another old timer in describing
Seventh street in the early '30s tells
us that at the corner of Seventh and
G streets there was lanyard, that
