F Street shopping district


F Street, N.W. has historically been the heart of the Washington, D.C. downtown shopping district, which also extends to nearby streets. In the first half of the 20th century there were numerous large department stores along and near F Street. Transportation by Washington, D.C.'s streetcars, first horse-drawn, then electrified, notably the busy transfer point at F and 9th, helped solidify this area as D.C.'s most popular shopping district during that time.
Although Macy's is the only traditional department store left, the district is home to four discount department stores, three small malls or shopping centers, and many on-street retail stores such as H&M, Anthropologie, etc.
