Real estate boom fuels Washington district growth on Pennsylvania Avenue
Gen Anson Mills buys a four‑lot tract on Pennsylvania Avenue near Seventeenth Street for about 50000 amid surging values driven by government needs. Wardman plans twenty one houses and two eight story units monetize the Northwest boom. Banks brokered deals, new firms enter market, and Sixteenth Street becomes a future boulevard as activity expands across Georgetown and Water Street.
