Duke of Gloucester St.
Duke of Gloucester Street, called simply "Main
Street" during the pre-restoration years, runs east-west
through the middle of Williamsburg. It nearly a mile
long from the Capitol, on the east end, to William & Mary
on the west. Franklin Roosevelt called it "the most
historic avenue in America," but local students know
it simply as "D.O.G. Street." It was paved and divided
by a median during World War I, but the median was removed
in the early 1930's and replaced with pavement.
