Pennsylvania Avenue
White House street
Pennsylvania Avenue is a major street in Washington, D.C., running from the Capitol to the White House.
Because it connects these landmarks, the name often stands metonymically for the U.S. government or federal power: The scandal sent shockwaves down Pennsylvania Avenue.
The White House address—1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—makes the street synonymous with the presidency itself.
