Freedom Market – New Hampshire Avenue at T Street N.W., Washington, D.C.
Freedom Market, located at 1901 New Hampshire Avenue N.W. in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built around 1880, the Italianate style, former row house is designated as a contributing property to the Strivers' Section Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Strivers’ Section was historically an enclave of upper-middle-class African Americans, often community leaders, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It takes its name from a turn-of-the-20th-century writer who described the district as "the Striver’s section, a community of Negro aristocracy." The name echoes that of Strivers’ Row in Harlem, a New York City historic neighborhood of black professionals. Among its most notable residents was Frederick Douglass, runaway slave, abolitionist, orator, writer, and civil servant; and Langston Hughes (1902–1967), the Harlem Renaissance poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright, lived at 1749 S Street, N.W.
