Check out this amazing photo from back in 1863 with the Capitol building under construction in the background. The photo was taken looking SE and other than the Capitol, the view is a very different one today (including paved roads). Unfortunately the church in the forefront, Trinity Episcopal Church, was demolished during the construction of the I-395 tunnel
All that is really left today is a historic marker at 526 D St NW with this photo and a little description of what once was
