On the book found on the internet:
"Tenleytown today is a diverse and fast-changing neighborhood in the Northwest section of the nation's capital, on the highest elevation in the city. In 1790 it was Tennally's Tavern, located at an isolated crossroads of Indian trails, between tobacco plantations and rude farms. In the 1860s it was the site of Fort Reno, the largest Union fort in the defenses of Washington. In 1890, the first streetcars connected the city to the country village on the turnpike between Georgetown and Frederick. Twentieth century development, residential and commerical, has changed the face and nature of Tenleytown. The old Tenleytown name was lost to all but the old timers - until the 1970s, when interest in this historic neighborhood was revised."
