    DC History Pop Quiz: The oldest private residence in the nation's capital is Old Stone House, located at 3051 M Street, NW.

    However, the house predates the founding of nation's capital and the L'Enfant Plan street grid, which means its original address was different.

    So the question is, what was M Street NW known as back then?
