Located directly across from and north of The White House, Lafayette Park also known as Peace Park is part of the Lafayette Square Historic District which is an area of Washington DC that I plan to explore and focus more on in upcoming months. Though I have visited Lafayette Park since the fall of 1972 when after barhopping at the gay bars on 9th Street that friends Tom Wiley, Tom Ocfemia, Allen Aud and I would 'cruise' the park before returning back to Wiley's apartment in Riverdale MD and, in recent years, have photographed many demonstrations in what is sometimes referred to as Peace Park this image, taken on Veterans Day, 11 November 2006, represents the launching of my Lafayette Square Historic District Project which includes the H, 15th and 17th Streets surrounding area
