With one exception, all the following are on Wisconsin Avenue, within several blocks of the Tenleytown Metro Station (on the red line, ending at the Shady Grove Metro station) and the Tenley-Friendship Public Library (4450 Wisconsin Ave. NW, DC).  Facing the library, the higher numbered street addresses are to your right.
