ColumnistHave you ever written about the quarry that gave its name to Quarry Road in Adams Morgan? No, Answer Man has not written about the quarry that gave its name to Quarry Road NW. The quarry was technically in the area between Adams Morgan and Mount Pleasant that sticklers today call Lanier Heights. A Quarry Road sign in Northwest Washington is a reminder that in the 1870s, a bluestone quarry was on the banks of Rock Creek. As for Quarry Road, the Adams Morgan ANC is hoping the 2700 block will be designated Casilda Luna Way, after the Latina activist.
