 Continue straight to the southwest corner of Park Ave. and 10th St. Need a haircut? Check out the cute little peluquería to the south. On the northwest corner are three ceramic-tiled columns at the entry to Washington Park. Titled Pillars of the Community, this public artwork is a collaboration between artist Eddie Dominguez, students from Washington Middle School, and elders from the neighborhood.

 Turn right on 10th St. and head north to Central, passing the luxurious and stylish Silver Moon Lodge Apartments. The Pueblo Deco–style structure was built in 2014 on the site of the old Silver Moon Lodge, a classic Route 66 motel.

 Turn left on Central. Washington Apartments stand on the southwest corner. This pair of two-story buildings, formerly a children’s hospital, was converted in 1917 to apartments. The floor plans for the 16 units are each unique. The building next door began as a single-family home in 1905. In 1930 the interior was divided into nine units, and it became the Colonial Arms Apartments. Additional units were added in the 1930s, bringing the total up to 16 by 1940. In the 1970s it became a youth hostel, and it’s now known as the Route 66 Hostel. Nightly rates range from $20 to $35.
