We just stayed out in Oxen Hill, which was it's own adventure, lol. But when we there we were a mile and a half from the murder epicenter of DC, and it weas a rough ass neighborhood, indeed. We also knew that it was thae last stop in that direction for the Metro, and a very long delayed and politicized infrastructure project. We suspected that the forces of gentrification would be close behind, and it sounds like we were right. If the current historic preservation is focused on the buildings and grounds themselves, they were pretty cool architecturally, but we couldn't access the grounds, lol. We did find some remains from a Civil War hospital next door, though.
