Freedom Market, located at 1901 New Hampshire Avenue N.W. in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built around 1880, the Italianate style, former row house is designated as a contributing property to the Strivers' Section Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Strivers’ Section was historically an enclave of upper-middle-class African Americans, often community leaders, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It takes its name from a turn-of-the-20th-century writer who described the district as "the Striver’s section, a community of Negro aristocracy." The name echoes that of Strivers’ Row in Harlem, a New York City historic neighborhood of black professionals. Among its most notable residents was Frederick Douglass, runaway slave, abolitionist, orator, writer, and civil servant; and Langston Hughes (1902–1967), the Harlem Renaissance poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright, lived at 1749 S Street, N.W.
