Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is headed to Capitol Hill today for his twice-yearly testimony before Congress. Expect him to deliver an upbeat assessment of the U.S. economy, while bending over backward to dodge politically fraught questions.

One of Capitol Hill’s oldest single-family residences was listed last month for the first time in nearly 40 years, for nearly $3.9 million. Two centuries old and nearly 4,000 square feet, the eye-catching detached brick Federal-style house exemplifies the neighborhood’s distinguished character.
