For the past decade, Barracks Row Main Street has worked tirelessly to preserve and enhance Capitol Hill’s historic 8^th Street, SE, commercial corridor and to revitalize its business community.

The group’s focus is the five blocks of 8^th Street that stretch south from Pennsylvania Ave S.E. to the terminus of 8^th Street at the Washington Navy Yard along M Street, S.E.

Barracks Row is located eight blocks east of the U.S. Capitol.
