The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, administered by the National Park Service, is located at 1411 W Street, SE, in Anacostia, a neighborhood east of the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, D.C.. Established in 1988 as a National Historic Site, the site preserves the home and estate of Frederick Douglass, one of the most prominent African Americans of the 19th century. Douglass lived in this house, which he named Cedar Hill, from 1877 until his death in 1895. Perched high on a hilltop, the site also offers a sweeping view of the U.S. Capitol and the Washington, D.C., skyline.

"Really nice property! Very close to the Washington Nationals ballpark and a Metro station just across the street. Be aware that rooms that face M Street, especially those close to Half Street, will hear the evening music from the The Bullpen outdoor sports bar/live entertainment venue seasonally. It was generally over with by 10p. Lots of dining options within walking distance. Property and room very clean and well-maintained. Nice kitchen area in our room with full-size refrigerator/freezer, microwave. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet except for as noted. Breakfast buffet was very nice, offering the typical hot and cold options and very large seating area. Rooftop lounge area really nice place to hang out as well. Highly recommend!"
