Summary

Description
English: Aerial photograph looking north at L'Enfant Plaza, L'Enfant Promenade, and part of Southwest, Washington, D.C. (1992).
  • The Potomac River waterfront is at the bottom of the image. The six-lane divided street that is Maine Avenue SW can be seen just above the waterfront and its buildings.
  • L'Enfant Promenade is the prominent street extending north from Benjamin Banneker Park and Overlook (in the lower-center of the photograph); the James V. Forrestal Building appears to block it off, and the Smithsonian Castle can just be seen beyond the Forrestal Building.
  • To the left of L'Enfant Promenade is the U.S. Postal Service headquarters. To the right (forming a U-shape around the plaza itself) are the North Building, South Building, and L'Enfant Plaza Hotel (9th Street SW passes beneath it).
  • The Robert C. Weaver Federal Building (curving X-shaped building), headquarters of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, can be seen to the right of the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel. The wedge-shaped building in the lower right corner is 800 9th Street SW, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extensive Service (CSREES) building.
