Construction progresses at the new Anacostia Arts Center

Today ESLA popped into 1231 Good Hope Rd SE to check out the progress at the new Anacostia Arts Center. The 10,000 sq ft center will have commercial suites available for use as art galleries, retail, and wellness (time to get our yoga on!), a black box theater and coffeeshop on site.

A project of ARCH Development Corporation, the Anacostia Arts Center is scheduled to be open for business (and art!) May 2013!

ABOUT HISTORIC ANACOSTIA

Historic Anacostia is a neighborhood in Ward 8 located in Washington, D.C.

Incorporated in 1854 as "Uniontown" the neighborhood was one of the first suburbs in the District of Columbia. The name "Anacostia" comes from an early settlement of Necostan or Anacostan Indians who lived on the banks of the Anacostia River.

"The core of the Anacostia historic district was incorporated in 1854 and is approximately 20 squares. The Anacostia historic District is roughly bounded by Martin Luther King Avenue on the west, Good Hope Road on the north, Fendall Street and the rear of the Frederick Douglass home (Cedar Hill) on the east, and Bangor Street and Morris Road on the south." -- via Anacostia Historic District

Today, Anacostia is regarded as an up-and-coming neighborhood with an emerging arts district, small businesses, and historic homes. Anacostia has a rich history and an even brighter future. Take some time to visit the neighborhood's historic sites, art galleries, museums and green spaces.
