Locating Wonders Court in Washington City (Washington, D.C.) in the year 1900 & 1910

lynni212

I am hoping to locate Wonders Court, which is listed on the 1900 and 1910 census where my family was living in Washington, D.C. I have looked at Baist's maps, including Atlas' of from years 1903-1919. I believe it may have been an alley, and looked at a directory of alleys from 1912 that cataloged the allies, which it is not listed. I have also tried to review enumeration maps from the census, but I cannot find the Washington, D.C. maps online and am not sure where to look in the Archives. I would be grateful for anyone that could assist me in locating a map from 1900-1920, if possible that may show where Wonders Court is, since the allies are not labeled on many of the maps.

    We have enumeration district maps available in the research room at College Park, MD. These maps cover Washington DC for 1900 and 1910, but they aren't yet digitized so you'll need to visit the archives in person to access them. You can see the file unit description for these maps at: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/12004696. The citation for those records is RG 29, Enumeration District Maps, Washington DC, 1900 & 1910.
