In the 1970s, a group of concerned residents banded together to revitalize the neighborhood. They formed the Lafayette Square Restoration Committee and worked tirelessly to restore the homes and businesses in the area. Today, Lafayette Square is once again a thriving community that is proud of its history and dedicated to its future.
