The building behind the streetcar is now completely finished, as the rest of the street takes shape, nearly 50 years after it was destroyed after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. Want to see this street corner in 1947?

Residents of DC’s Ward 7, who have long awaited new investment in their community and support extending the H Street streetcar line to Benning Road, will have to wait six years or forever if the budget released last night by Chairman Phil Mendelson passes. That budget cuts about $97 million from transportation capital projects.
