On the west side of Fifteenth Street, NW, just north of Constitution Avenue, NW, is a plain, granite stone dedicated in 1936 in memory of the patentees who gave their land to create the Nation’s Capital. The memorial is inscribed with the names of the 18 original patentees here, who lived before 1700.
