Hotels Close to Deanwood
Deanwood is a neighborhood in Northeast Washington, D.C., bounded by Eastern Avenue to the northeast, Kenilworth Avenue to the northwest, and Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue to the south.
One of Northeast's oldest neighborhoods, Deanwood’s relatively low density, small wood-frame and brick homes, and dense tree cover give it a small-town character that is unique in the District of Columbia. Much of its housing stock dates from the early 20th century. Several well-known African-American architects, including W. Sidney Pittman and Howard D. Woodson, and many skilled local craftsmen designed and built many of its homes. The neighborhood was once home to Nannie Helen Burroughs, an early civil rights leader and the founder of the National Training School for Women and Girls, an independent boarding school for African-American girls founded in 1909 and located on 50th Street, NE. Marvin Gaye (1939-1984) was also born and raised in this neighborhood. From 1921 to 1940, Deanwood was also home to Suburban Gardens (50th and Hayes NE), a black-owned amusement park that served thousands of African-American residents during a time of racial segregation.
It is served by the Deanwood Metro station on the Orange Line.
The neighborhood features prominently in crime author Jim Beame's short story, "Jeanette."

Nationals Park is the current ballpark for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball. It is the first LEED-certified green major professional sports stadium in the United States. The facility hosted the 2008 season's first game (in North America), when the Nats took on the Atlanta Braves on March 30, 2008. The first game played there was a collegiate baseball game. The stadium is located along the Anacostia River in the Navy Yard neighborhood of Washington, D.C., and replaced RFK Stadium as the Nationals' home ballpark.
The ballpark, designed by Populous (formerly HOK Sport) and Devrouax & Purnell Architects and Planners, seats 41,888 fans and cost $611 million to build. The Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol building are visible from certain areas of the stadium.
The park's name echoes the original name of the early-1900s ballpark used by the Washington Senators/Nationals, which was called National Park until it was rebuilt and renamed Griffith Stadium. The name was originally a temporary name, as the Lerner Family had planned to sell its naming rights. When a strong bid never surfaced, the team chose to stick with Nationals Park.

~7.21 miles from Camp Springs city center
Hotels Close to Capitol Hill/southeast
Capitol Hill, aside from being a metonym for the United States Congress, is the largest historic residential neighborhood in Washington D.C., stretching easterly in front of the United States Capitol along wide avenues. It is one of the oldest residential communities in Washington, and with roughly 35,000 people in just under two square miles, it is also one of the most densely populated.
As a geographic feature, Capitol Hill rises in the center of the District of Columbia and extends eastward. Pierre L'Enfant, as he began to develop his plan for the new Federal City in 1791, chose to locate the "Congress House" on the crest of the hill, facing the city, a site that L'Enfant characterized as a "pedestal waiting for a monument."
The Capitol Hill neighborhood today straddles two quadrants of the city, Southeast and Northeast, and a large portion is now designated as the Capitol Hill historic district. The name Capitol Hill is often used to refer to both the historic district and to the larger neighborhood around it. To the east of Capitol Hill lies the Anacostia River, to the north is the H Street corridor, to the south are the Southeast/Southwest Freeway and the Washington Navy Yard, and to the west are the National Mall and the city's central business district.

John Carlyle House

Hotels Close to John Carlyle House
Carlyle House is a historic mansion in Alexandria, Virginia, United States, built by Scottish merchant John Carlyle in 1751-53. It is situated in the city’s Old Town on North Fairfax Street between Cameron and King Streets.
When the lots for the new town of Alexandria were auctioned in July 1749, Carlyle purchased lots 41 and 42, situated between the Potomac River and the town's market square, ideal for his merchant business. He began construction of a house in 1751, using indentured and slave labor. The home was built in mid-Georgian Palladian style with space for entertaining and private family and servant use. He also built a number of outbuildings for both household and business needs. Carlyle and his wife, Sarah née Fairfax, moved into the house on 1 August 1753, the day Sarah gave birth to Carlyle's first son, William. Carlyle is supposed to have sealed a cat within the house's walls, an old Scottish tradition to bring luck.
In 1755, the house was the initial headquarters for Major-General Edward Braddock in the Colony of Virginia during the French and Indian War. The Congress of Alexandria convened in the dining room of the house and here Braddock decided to make an expedition to Fort Duquesne which would result in his death. He was urged not to undertake the expedition by native Virginian George Washington who was then a volunteer aide-de-camp to Braddock. Braddock first suggested the idea of levying additional new taxes on the colonists to help with the cost of the war at the house.
Gardens of the Carlyle House
Carlyle was a slaveholder. Carlyle’s slaves lived and worked in his Alexandria home, on three plantations and in a foundry located on the same lot as the house. When he died, there were nine slaves living at Carlyle House: Moses, Nanny, Jerry, Joe, Cate, Sibreia, Cook, Charles, and Penny.
Following Carlyle's death in 1780, his son George William Carlyle inherited the house. However, he died one year after his father at the Battle of Eutaw Springs in South Carolina. The son of John Carlyle's eldest daughter Sarah Carlyle Herbert, John Carlyle Herbert, inherited the Carlyle House in 1781. The house passed from the family's possession by 1827 when Sarah Carlyle Herbert died and John Carlyle Herbert sold it to pay off an uncle's gambling debt. He himself had moved to Maryland in the first decade of the nineteenth century.
In the mid 1800s, the Mansion House Hotel, which became called one of the best hotels on the East Coast, was built along Fairfax Street making Carlyle House no longer visible from the street. The hotel and the house were seized by occupying Union forces during the American Civil War.
Significant restoration work to the house was undertaken in the early and mid 1970s and the hotel (also known as the Braddock Hotel) was torn down once again exposing Carlyle House to North Fairfax Street.
Since 1970, the Carlyle House Historic Park is owned and administered by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority and includes the 18th century mansion and its gardens. On the National Register of Historic Places, it is architecturally unique as the only stone, 18th-century Palladian-style house in Alexandria. The "Grandest Congress" is a reenacted celebrating Gen. Braddock's time at the house that takes place every year at the Carlyle House.

Kingman Park (Neighborhood)
Washington DC
~7.44 miles from Camp Springs city center
Hotels Close to Kingman Park
Kingman Park is a large neighborhood in Northeast Washington, D.C. Its proximity to Capitol Hill has led some zealous real estate agents to coin it as "East Capitol Hill," but the neighborhood has a history and identity of its own.
Kingman Park's boundaries are 15th Street NE to the west; East Capitol Street to the south; M Street to the north; and the Anacostia River to the east.
The residents of Kingman Park have fought hard to maintain the neighborhood's status as a quiet, residential enclave of mostly African American families (many of whom have lived in the neighborhood for decades). RFK Stadium has proved the largest challenge to that character, playing host to raucous crowds at sporting events and rock concerts; in a particularly controversial move, RFK's parking lots were the site of a American Le Mans Series racing event in 2002. But the active and influential Kingman Park Civic Association has won a number of other important victories. In 1978 they successfully prevented the Washington Metro from building an Oklahoma Avenue station, which residents argued would unnecessarily create traffic problems for both automobiles and pedestrians. It remains the only metro station that was stopped by community input. Many public transit advocates are arguing for the need for adding a new metro stop here as originally planned. The "new" stop is featured in many so-called "fantasy" maps for the WMATA.
More recently, in 1996, Kingman Park fended off a proposed theme park for two islands in the Anacostia River. Instead, those islands are being developed in a project called Kingman and Heritage Islands. In 2008 Kingman and Heritage Islands Park became a project of the District of Columbia Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development in coordination with Living Classrooms of the National Capital Region.
Kingman park also includes the neighborhood of Rosedale, which is one of the original names of the neighborhood. The Rosedale Citizens Alliance focuses on helping residents collaborate on health, safety and quality-of-life issues effecting the Rosedale neighborhood community.
In 2009, Rosedale Field was renamed in honor of Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, one of only three women to play professional baseball in the Negro League. Ms. Johnson was “discovered” while playing at the field and continues to live in Kingman park in the immediate Rosedale neighborhood.
Also in 2009, ground was broken for a new state-of-the-art community center on the site of the former Rosedale Recreation Center, adjacent to Mamie “Peanut” Johnson Field. It is hoped that the new facility will be completed in 2010.

Lee Fendall House

Hotels Close to Lee Fendall House
In November 1784, Maj. Gen. Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee (1756-1818) purchased 3 one-half acre lots in Alexandria from Baldwin Dade (1716-1783), a merchant. On December 4, 1784, he sold one of these tracts to Philip Richard Fendall I, Esq. (1734-1805), for three hundred pounds, and Philip began building the Lee-Fendall House, for his second wife, Elizabeth (Steptoe) Lee (1743-1789), spring or early summer of 1785. The lot was located on the southeast corner of Washington and Oronoko Street, then the edge of the city. At the time, very few structures were near, and the Fendall's enjoyed a spectacular view of Oronoko Bay and the ships which docked there. To the north and west lay verdant fields of grass and clover. Alexandria was an up and coming thriving social and political center in Northern Virginia. The architect is unknown, but the style is similar to that found at "Hard Bargain", an estate built by the Digges family, and located in Charles County from which Philip hailed. It consisted of a "telescopic" design, which was synonymous with Maryland, and had three sections.
The house was completed by November 1785, when George Washington wrote in his diary dated November 10 1785: "Went to Alexandria to meet the Directors of the Potomack Company and dined at Mr. Fendall's (who was from home) and returned in the evening with Mrs. Washington." The Fendalls are mentioned in Washington's 1785-1786 diaries more than anyone outside his own family, and Washington dined here at least seven times in those years. Elizabeth was a favorite of George and Martha Washington, a frequent visitor to Mount Vernon, and frequent hostess to the Washingtons. Philip was one of the few men who were close friends with Washington and participated in his social coterie.

Carver Langston is a cluster of two neighborhoods, Carver and Langston, just south of the United States National Arboretum in Northeast Washington, D.C. The two neighborhoods are most often referred to as one, because they are two small triangular neighborhoods that together form a square of land on the western bank of the Anacostia River. Technically under the jurisdiction of the Kingman Park Civic Association, Carver and Langston are nonetheless separate from that neighborhood.
Carver is the smaller and northernmost neighborhood of the two, bordered by Bladensburg Road to the west, M Street NE to the north, and Maryland Avenue to the southeast. Langston is bordered by Maryland Avenue to the northwest, 22nd and 26th Streets NE to the east, and Benning Road to the south. Directly east of the neighborhood on the very edge of the river is the Langston Golf Course, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the first course in the United States to allow blacks; boxing champion Joe Louis was one of its most frequent visitors.
Carver is named after George Washington Carver, a famous Black inventor. Langston Terrace is named after John Mercer Langston who served as the first Black American from Virginia to serve in the United States Congress. Langston Terrace is famous because it is Washington D.C.'s city's first federally-funded public housing program to be built in 1938. Interestingly, the housing projects were explicitly designed for African American residents since the District was rigidly segregated at the time.
Carver Langston is a middle-income residential neighborhood populated by retirees, families, and renters.
The area's main retail center is Hechinger Mall and the entire area is part of Ward 5
