Logan Circle at the intersection of Rhode Island and Vermont Avenues and 13th and P Streets is the last surviving residential-only traffic circle in the original L'Enfant Plan.  The Victorian row houses that ring Logan Circle are among the most famous and photographed in the entire district.

The post-war economic downturn and white flight in the Logan Circle neighborhood stifled investment and stalled development that would have replaced Victorian-era row houses with denser developments.  As gentrification has consumed the Logan neighborhood, block after block of row houses have been brought back to life in a grand manner.

Row house architecture in Logan Circle includes Renaissance Revival, Second Empire, Richardson Romanesque and Romanesque Revival…

Prominently situated at the corner of 13th and N, Solo Piazza delivers luxury with an artistic flair.  Reminiscent of my older sister's treasured 1970s-era mood ring, the light sculpture above the Solo Piazza foyer changes color based on the temperature. Upon entering the two-story Solo Piazza lobby, the eye is immediately drawn to the wonderful and dramatic pieces by local artists which adorn the walls.
