Where In D.C. Did Your Favorite Writer Live?

Journalist and child of former slaves Mary Church Terrell lived at 326 T St. NW in LeDroit Park

Well, this is super cool. Via Curbed, a decent-sized list of where famous writers have lived in D.C. From Mary Church Terrell to Roald Dahl, each name includes a short bio, the address, and a photograph of where the writer lived.

For example, I didn't realize that Sinclair Lewis, the Minnesota-born author of two of my favorite books—Main Street and Kingsblood Royal—wrote the former while living in D.C. According to D.C. Writers, Lewis resided at 3028 Q St. NW in Georgetown and 18 Logan Circle.
