Logan Circle is a historic roundabout park and residential neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C., developed beginning in the 1870s as an affluent residential district. The area is characterized by Second Empire architectural style and comprises two historic districts with numerous sites on the National Register of Historic Places. At the circle's center stands an equestrian statue of Union General John A. Logan, inaugurated by President William McKinley in 1901 and formally commemorated when Congress officially named the circle in 1930. The 14th Street corridor through the western portion has become highly commercialized, while the neighborhood itself has emerged in the 21st century as one of Washington's most prominent gay villages and, increasingly, one of its most expensive neighborhoods undergoing significant urban redevelopment.
