Anacostia is DC's only residential historic district east of the Anacostia River, centered on Uniontown, which was incorporated in 1854 as one of the District's first suburbs and built to be affordable for working families employed across the river at the Navy Yard. The historic district holds much of its mid-to-late 19th-century low-scale, working-class character: frame houses in Italianate and Cottage styles with some Queen Anne, interspersed with brick rowhouses and churches along Good Hope Road and Martin Luther King, Jr., Avenue. The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site sits within its boundaries.

The housing here is a mix of older frame and brick homes, many over a century old with original wood and plaster, alongside newer construction as the area has seen reinvestment. That older frame and rowhouse stock shapes the work: aging wood siding, windows, and porches to maintain, shared walls on the rowhouses, and modest lots and yards to keep up. KleanCierge is insured for general liability and serves homes across Anacostia and the surrounding 20020 area.
