The George Gordon Meade Memorial, also known as the Meade Memorial or Major General George Gordon Meade, is a public artwork in Washington, D.C. honoring George Meade, a career military officer from Pennsylvania who is best known for defeating General Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg. The monument is sited on the 300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue NW in front of the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse. It was originally located at Union Square, but was removed and placed in storage for fourteen years before being installed at its current location. The statue was sculpted by Charles Grafly, an educator and founder of the National Sculpture Society, and was a gift from the state of Pennsylvania. Prominent attendees at the dedication ceremony in 1927 included President Calvin Coolidge, Governor John Stuchell Fisher, Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, and Senator Simeon D. Fess. The memorial is one of eighteen Civil War monuments in Washington, D.C., which were collectively listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The marble and granite sculpture, which includes depictions of Meade and seven allegorical figures, rests on a granite base and granite platform. It is surrounded by a public plaza and small park. The monument is owned and maintained by the National Park Service, a federal agency of the Interior Department. Another monument to Meade by sculptor Henry Kirke Bush-Brown is on the Gettysburg Battlefield. It was dedicated in 1896 as the first equestrian monument erected on the battlefield and is one of scores of Gettysburg monuments and markers.

Trinity Episcopal Church was an Episcopal church that stood from 1851 to 1936 on the northeast corner of 3rd and C Streets NW in the Judiciary Square neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Founded in 1827, the parish was home to prominent attendees including President John Quincy Adams, Senator Daniel Webster, and Francis Scott Key, who served as the church's senior warden. The first church building was located on 5th Street NW, across the street from District of Columbia City Hall, in what was then a fashionable area of the city. The parish grew and began planning a new church building. With financial assistance from William Wilson Corcoran, the parish bought the lot with which the church is best associated, and a cornerstone was laid in 1850. James Renwick Jr., who had recently won a competition to design the Smithsonian Institution Building, was selected to design Trinity's new sanctuary. The Gothic Revival building, topped with two towers, was completed in 1851. During the Civil War, the church was used as a military hospital for Union soldiers. In the decades after the war, Washingtonians began moving to more desirable areas of the city, and attendance at Trinity decreased. Despite renovations and the addition of a parish hall in the 1890s, the church continued to decline and grew deeper into debt. The local diocese took over the property after World War I, and the church became a social service outreach center. The property was sold in 1936, and after the church was stripped of valuable contents and building materials, it was demolished and replaced with a parking lot. The Frances Perkins Building, headquarters of the United States Department of Labor, now stands on the site.

The Albert Pike Memorial is a public artwork in Washington, D.C., erected in 1901 and partially demolished by protestors in 2020. It honors Albert Pike (1809–1891), a senior officer of the Confederate States Army as well as a poet, lawyer, and influential figure in the Scottish Rite of freemasonry. The memorial—which now only includes the base and Goddess of Masonry sculpture—sits near the corner of 3rd and D Streets NW in the Judiciary Square neighborhood. The memorial's two bronze figures were sculpted by Gaetano Trentanove, the Italian-American sculptor of another Washington, D.C., sculptural landmark, the Daniel Webster Memorial. The dedication ceremony in 1901 was attended by thousands of Masons who marched in a celebratory parade.
