Folger Park is a public park named after former Secretary of the Treasury Charles J. Folger. It is located at 2nd Street and D Street Southeast Washington D.C. in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.Andrew Ellicott modified Pierre L’Enfant’s plan making what was street right of way into open space. Today the park is notable for two large pebble-faced concrete fountain benches (no longer containing drinking fountains) that sit on opposite sides of the park facing each other.
