Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park

Meridian Hill is a small urban neighborhood in Washington, D.C., located in Northwest D.C. Meridian Hill is often considered to be a part of the larger neighborhoods of Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights, which it sits between. The neighborhood is primarily residential, though it also hosts a notable amount of diplomatic missions and embassies. Meridian Hill was developed as part of the City Beautiful movement in the late 19th century, when socialite Mary Foote Henderson embarked on a major initiative to turn Meridian Hill into the city's most prestigious area. While the neighborhood lured many prominent figures to build mansions and embassies, Henderson did not achieve her goal of building a new Presidential Mansion on the central area of the hill, which was eventually developed into Meridian Hill Park.

It was renovated in 1981 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The building is most notable due to its connection to the establishment of Czechoslovakia as an independent nation.

The Noyes Armillary Sphere is a bronze armillary sphere located in Meridian Hill Park, a 12-acre (4.9 ha) urban park in Washington, D.C. It was the fifth artwork installed in the park and was designed by sculptor C. Paul Jennewein, whose other works in the city include the Darlington Memorial Fountain and 57 sculptural elements at the Robert F. Kennedy Department of Justice Building. Artist Bertha Noyes donated $15,000 toward the project's cost in honor of her deceased sister, Edith. The sphere is sited in the park's exedra, south of the Cascading Waterfall and reflecting pool. It rests on a granite pedestal designed by Horace Peaslee, an architect who oversaw construction of Meridian Hill Park. Jennewein completed his design of the sculpture in 1931 and a bill accepting it on behalf of the United States was signed into law by President Herbert Hoover the following year. After the sphere was founded by the Roman Bronze Works company, it remained in New York because of delays in installing the foundation. The sphere was finally dedicated in 1936. During the next few decades, the sphere and some of the park's other sculptures were damaged. In 1973, the sphere was removed by the National Park Service (NPS) and placed in a storage facility, where it was either stolen or misplaced. In 2018, the NPS announced an exact replica would be installed in the park. Using old drawings and photographs, Kreilick Conservation LLC created the new sphere which was installed in 2024.

Black: The incorruptible statesman whose walk was upon the mountain ranges of the law. The memorial in the nation's capital complemented an earlier monument, constructed in 1907–08 and dedicated in 1911, on the site of Buchanan's birthplace in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.

Henderson Castle (also known as Henderson's Castle, Boundary Castle, and Prospect Castle) was a large Romanesque Revival house once located at 2200 16th Street NW in Washington, D.C. Built in 1889 for former Senator John B. Henderson, who introduced legislation for the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolishing slavery, and his wife, Mary Foote Henderson, the castle was sited on a prominent location overlooking the city. At the time, the area was mostly undeveloped, a fact Mary saw to change through decades of real estate development. Architect Eugene C. Gardner designed the castle and later renovations were carried out by architects Thomas Franklin Schneider, George Oakley Totten Jr., and Laussat R. Rogers. Mary hired Totten to design many of the grand mansions and embassies on 15th and 16th Street NW which she sold to wealthy residents and foreign governments. The Hendersons entertained prominent citizens at their castle, including Andrew Carnegie, members of Congress, foreign delegates, and justices of the Supreme Court. Mary was an advocate for women's rights, vegetarianism, and the temperance movement. Mary made national news when she and other members of the Independent Order of Rechabites took over 1,000 bottles of alcohol from the castle's cellar and smashed them on 16th Street. As part of her plans to develop the Meridian Hill neighborhood, Mary convinced Congress to buy land across the street from the castle, which was developed into Meridian Hill Park. After Mary's death in 1931, the Hendersons' vast art collection and fine furniture were sold at auction at drastically reduced prices. The castle remained unsold and it was converted into the Castle H Swim and Tennis Club in 1937, which included a boarding house on the upper floors. Loud after-hours parties annoyed neighbors, including Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer, whose White-Meyer House was located behind the castle. The couple purchased the castle property in 1941. It continued to be used as a boarding house and social event space until 1948, when all of the remaining contents were sold at auction. In January 1949, the castle was demolished. The property remained vacant for almost 30 years until Katharine Graham, daughter of the Meyers and publisher of The Washington Post, sold it to a real estate developer. A gated townhouse community, Beekman Place, was built on the site in 1976. Part of the castle's original perimeter wall and entrance gate still stands on 16th Street.
