West End (Washington, D.C.)
The West End is so named because it was the westernmost part of the original L'Enfant Plan for the city of Washington, before the annexation of Georgetown.Titled "New Town for the West End," the aerial photograph on the cover of the study showed the area that was planned to become a "new intown community."[1] Historically, West End was a predominantly African American community with brick Victorian rowhouses and warehouses.The Tiverton tenants gained local media attention for successfully battling two upzoning attempts by developers in an effort to maintain the square as-is.Trader Joe's grocery store opened in the neighborhood in September 2006, next to the former Columbia Hospital for Women, now a luxury condominium.
