Summary

Description
English: Shulman's Market located at 485 1/2 N Street, SW (corner of N & Union Streets) in Southwest, Washington, D.C. The owner, Harry Shulman (1899-1984), was a Jewish Lithuanian immigrant who operated three grocery stores in Washington, D.C.

The market was one of many Jewish-owned businesses once located throughout the Old Southwest neighborhood. Jewish immigrants began moving to SW in the 1840s, followed by Eastern European Jews in the late 1800s. Their community, along with other immigrants and a large African-American population (documented by Gordon Parks), lived in the neighborhood until the mandatory relocation of every resident, done in the name of "slum" clearing, alley dwelling removal, and urban renewal. Called the "Southwest Washington Redevelopment Plan", the majority of buildings in SW were razed, including the one pictured.

Here's what the site looks like now. Union Street no longer exists and the surrounding area is occupied by condominium buildings constructed in the 1960s.
