Historically Black Washington D.C. neighborhood with generational residents
Along the Anacostia River and east of the Capitol Building, Kingman Park is a historically Black Washington D.C. neighborhood with generational residents and a long history of activism. Charles Sager started developing the first homes in Kingman Park in 1927 after the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers dredged the (at the time) heavily polluted Anacostia River and converted it into buildable land. The neighborhood's modest row houses were built to serve working, middle-class residents in the 1920s and 30s and fulfilled a need for housing at a time when Black residents were barred from many developments. "There are some nuances to what is Kingman Park," says Kim Prothro Williams, an Architectural Historian at the D.C. Office of Planning/Historic Preservation. Williams's team was approached by the Kingman Park Civic Association, which has been active since the neighborhood was founded in 1927, to request historic status for the neighborhood. "The Civic Association was concerned about the loss of understanding of the culture and history of Kingman Park, as well as a loss of the cohesive nature of housing there," Williams says. Kingman Park was granted historic status in 2017, helping to preserve the neighborhood’s historic homes that now house a diverse community in an evolving landscape.
Welcome to Kingman and Heritage Islands Park in the Kingman Park neighborhood.

Center of Black homeownership
Kingman Park has many new residents moving in. Still, many descendants of the original homeowners in Kingman Park live there today, with generational Black homeowners passing on one or more homes in the neighborhood to their children. "There are young adults in public meetings who live in one house they inherited and rent out the other two. It's really remarkable," Williams says. The neighborhood's homes were built for "lower middle-class people with incomes: government employees, teachers and professionals," Williams says. Although buying into the neighborhood has become increasingly expensive, reflecting larger D.C. and national trends, the community's intergenerational residents and neighborhood associations like the Kingman Park Civic Association have preserved Kingman Park's character.

Two-story row homes from the late 1920s and 30s
The two-story brick row homes of Sager's original development between 21st and 25th streets are today valued between $600,000 and $700,000. The rest of the neighborhood was built up not long after, and Craftsman and Colonial-style row homes now range from about $500,000 to just over $1 million. Nearly all homes have street parking, front yards, front porches and small basements. Since the neighborhood's historic designation, rooftop additions, also known as "pop ups," must be set back from the home's facade and not be visible from the street. "Our historic row house neighborhoods have cohesive design. They're uniform in form and dimension," Williams says. "So, when you get these pop ups mid-block, they're visually jarring, and are unsympathetic to the historic character of the building." This regulation limiting visible additions helps maintain the historic character of Kingman Park's row homes.

Rosedale Community Center and Kingman and Heritage Islands
Starting as early as the 1600s and going through to the 1970s, the Anacostia River was heavily polluted due to waste from a nearby dump, raw sewage from the D.C. sewer system and other pollutants. Since then, the river has undergone intensive cleanup efforts and has seen a resurgence of natural wetland habitats. Although the water quality continues to improve, occasional high levels of E. Coli and fecal bacteria in the river mean that swimming is not allowed. However, the manmade Kingman and Heritage Islands along the river offer opportunities for boating, hiking and exploration of wetland habitats. Rosedale Recreation Center is another popular spot for Kingman Park residents with a significant history. During segregation, Rosedale Playground and Recreation Center, on the same site as the current Rosedale Community Center in Kingman Park, was an all-white park in a predominantly Black community. Young Progressives of America organized picketing and protests at the park and successfully demanded integration in 1952. Today, Rosedale Recreation Center's facilities include an outdoor pool, boxing room, indoor basketball courts and a playground.

Students attend D.C. Schools
Students in Kingman Park may begin at Miner Elementary School, which earned a C grade from Niche, and progress to C-plus-rated Eliot Hine Middle School and C-rated Eastern High School, both International Baccalaureate schools. Eastern High School also has a highly ranked Esports program, and the school’s band, the Blue and White Marching Machine, is dubbed the “pride of Capitol Hill” by its many fans. Across Benning Road remains the historically Black school buildings attended by the children of Kingman Park families during segregation that became significant locations during the Civil Rights movement. In the 1950s, the Consolidated Parents Group protested the overcrowding and lack of proper equipment and facilities in schools for Black students attending schools in Kingman Park. The group brought the Bolling vs. Sharpe Court case against the D.C. Board of Education in 1952. Although the residents initially lost the case, it went on to be a companion case for the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education ruling to integrate schools.
Eastern Senior High School offers the Eastern Academy of Health Sciences.
