Barracks Row Main Street is a small architecture and planning organization based in Washington, DC, focused on revitalizing 8th Street SE as a thriving commercial corridor. The group aims to reconnect Capitol Hill to the Anacostia River by leveraging historic preservation and the arts as engines of local economic development and community benefit. Its vision describes a pedestrian-friendly district with gateways, landscaped spaces, and a mix of shops and cultural events that support arts and nightlife. The district emphasizes accessibility via Metro, bus routes, and regional roadways and maintains ties with nearby military and community institutions. In May 2025, Barracks Row launched a Star Wars-themed pop-up bar to accompany a weekend event.
