Yes, there certainly were white working class neighborhoods back in the day.

Where? Foggy Bottom? Petworth? What was considered a white working class neighborhood in Old DC?

Swampoodle was one. I think some areas EOTR also qualify but I’m a bit foggy on the particulars. From my research the area I live in originally housed white working class people around the turn of the century versus Kingman Park next door which is known for being originally sold to middle-class blacks.
