On this site in 1814, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was first sung in public. The most famous of several hotels on this block was Brown’s Marble Hotel (1851-1935), an innovative Greek revival landmark, where John Tyler and Abraham Lincoln were guests. In the 1830s, Beverly Snow, a free black, operated the Epicurean restaurant on the corner of 6th Street. Designed by James G. Hill, the Atlantic Coast Line (railroad) Building on the northwest corner of 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW was constructed in 1893. It was dismantled brick by brick in 1985, and the façade was reconstructed as part of the modern and larger office building that appears to surround it.

The Court of Neptune Fountain is located in front of the Library of Congress Building. There are three major bronze castings, each mounted on a large rock and several smaller castings in the surrounding waters, such as turtles, frogs, serpents and dolphins. In the niches on either side of Neptune, is a nymph riding a wild sea horse. Out in the basin four turtles, two frogs, and a sea serpent spray water. On the retaining wall, just above the niches, are reliefs of dolphins and stalactites.

The Court of Neptune Fountain is located in front of the Library of Congress Building. There are three major bronze castings, each mounted on a large rock and several smaller castings in the surrounding waters, such as turtles, frogs, serpents and dolphins. In the center is Neptune, king of the sea. On each side of him are two separate castings of his two sons, the tritons, mythological gods characterized by figures with the torsos of men and the fins of fishes. The tritons blow on conch shells like trumpets.
