DC Boundary Stones

This stone is located near the intersection of Western Avenue and Fessenden Street NW, at the border between Washington, D.C., and Chevy Chase, Maryland. This boundary stone is generally in a residential area, characterized by single-family homes and tree-lined streets. The stone itself is often enclosed in a protective iron fence to safeguard it from vandalism or accidental damage, serving as a historic touchpoint amid the suburban landscape. It marks the boundary line where the District of Columbia ends and the state of Maryland begins, and it's a fascinating piece of history tucked away in an everyday setting.
