Even though the history of the neighborhood is as old as the capital city itself, the borders of Shaw are a s construct.
Truxton Circle, as the modern city defines it, sits within the northeastern boundaries of Shaw, between three major roads. On the north is Florida Avenue, known in the s as Boundary Street. Boundary Street separates Old City, where Truxton Circle lies, from the various "suburban" District neighborhoods such as Eckington and LeDroit Park, which began to appear around the late 19th century.
The Truxton Circle area proved to be a suitable section to investigate for two reasons. First, there is an absence of literature regarding this portion of Shaw. Second, Truxton Circle blossomed from more than households in to more than several thousand households in , creating a statistically solid but manageable number of residences. The project draws heavily from the United States census, in particular the , or 10th census.
The area of Truxton Circle falls within the 21st and 29th enumeration districts. For every Truxton Circle address falling within the search area, I collected every bit of data from the census rolls. Mapping proved difficult as real estate and fire maps do not always have house addresses. The Hopkins real estate maps were the main source because they outline houses, illustrating what was brick, wood, or a shed, and indicate major institutions such as schools, churches, and hospitals. Like regular city maps they show street names, street widths, major sewer lines, relative widths of alleys, square numbers, lot numbers, and sometimes house numbers.
For tax and real estate purposes in the District of Columbia, property is identified by square or plat and lot number, not by address. In addition to using maps, walking around the neighborhood was useful. Several of the buildings that existed at the time of the census still stand, and it helped to venture outside and see if the building was a small two-story Federal or a sizeable three-story Victorian.
There is no guarantee, however, that the building now standing at an address is the same one from Regardless, a visual inspection reveals if the property had a basement apartment, which may or may not have existed at the time of the census. This can be answered by looking at those who lived in it and their relationship to each other.
Was Truxton Circle a historically black neighborhood, like it was in the midth century? A working-class neighborhood? Looking at the people and the patterns of segregation can answer that question. The florist George Glorius is recorded in the U. Census at R Street, NW, along with his wife and five children. Records of the Bureau of the Census, RG Of the 19 occupied blocks in Truxton Circle, three Squares , and did not have any African American households or recorded occupants.
Of those three, two were sparsely populated. On the Hopkins map, on Square there are three shed structures, one identified as a greenhouse, and one brick building, that was the home of florist and Prussian immigrant George Glorius, who lived there with his wife and five children. Glorius's house, greenhouse, and sheds are the only structures on the square. The nature of his work explains why he had the whole block. The other sparse block of Square had two households.
The only structure facing the odd-numbered side of Q Street, where should have sat, is shown as a shed on the Hopkins map. What sits on that spot today is a bricked-up two-story garage. At that location lived John Miller, a French retired gardener, with his Prussian wife and their three American-born children and a bachelor.
On the map a John Miller is shown to have owned almost all of Square , and several properties on neighboring Square E. A great many of the heads of those households worked as clerks or held other white-collar jobs. Square was the only block where African Americans were the only residents. Curiously, of the 41 people who lived on this square, 16 people, representing five households, resided at 78 O Street.
If the unit block of O Street structures seen in the map is any guide to the size of the house, 78 O Street appears to have been a very small structure.
Because later fire maps from the early 20th century do not show any structures where 78 O sits, the current residence does not give any inkling of the size of the 19th-century building. Even though Truxton Circle was sparsely populated in parts, compared to block west of New Jersey Avenue in the rest of Shaw, there was typically someone of a different race living across the street or down the street or on the next block.
The unit block to the block of O, block of P, block of R, and the blocks of Third and First streets had instances of blacks and whites living across the street from each other. Of those, only the block of P, Squares and , had whites on both sides of the street. Because it is hard to see a pattern when there are only a few occupied residences on a street, I looked at blocks with streets that had five or more addresses on one side. The even-numbered unit block of O, where the crowded 78 O Street sat, and the block of First Street are two of the streets with African Americans on one side.
The odd-numbered block of New Jersey, even-numbered block of North Capitol, odd-numbered block, and block of Third street contained a number of homes, which were all occupied by white residents. The other occupied blocks or streets had a mix of black and white households, with the races grouped in clumps. Various patterns of clustering occurred with one race on one street or one end of the street, or in a grouping of households.
In other instances, there was a mix of one race living in between or near a larger cluster of another race. For example, the row of six houses from to Third Street held African Americans; at the end of the row lived a white family in Across the alley were two more white-occupied houses. Passing two vacant lots, at the end of O Street, were a black family at and Beulah Baptist Church, which was a black church. Among white householders, there were further breakdowns by nationalities, with concentrations of Germans and German Americans and Irish and Irish Americans.
Truxton Circle in was ethnically diverse. Besides having a population of black and white residents, the white residents included a number of immigrant and first-generation Americans.
This project focused on heads of the household and their spouses' nativity and parentage. Moving north on Square to North Capitol Street, we find three other German households but not a large or concentrated cluster; the row had one Irish spouse and two native white households. On the eastern side of Square were 20 German or German-American households with a strong presence on the block of North Capitol Street.
