In the 1892 map of Washington Circle, one can see the detailed structure of buildings present then.
The majority of the buildings present during this period were built with stone.
Between New Hampshire Avenue and K Street, most of the buildings were built with brick.
There were very few green houses and most buildings served as stables or sheds.
The neighborhood around Washington Circle changed during the 20th century with the relocation of the George Washington University to the Foggy Bottom campus.
Foggy Bottom (including the area surrounding Washington Circle) was meant to be a residential area.
With the new presence of the George Washington University which was brought on during the twentieth century, the area became much more institutionalized as seen through the George Washington University Hospital, located on the southeast end of the park.
