September 24, 2011: Barracks Row is a Capitol Hill commercial district which runs down 8th Street SE from the Eastern Market METRO Plaza to the historic Marine Barracks. Apart from the pre-existing Town of Georgetown, this neighborhood on the south side of Capitol Hill near the Anacostia River was the first area settled in the Federal City. After falling on hard times and with government moneys, the streetscape was renovated and the area transformed into a restaurant row.
