The Majesty Of Capitol Hill

Klappentext The fourteen-block area that fans out from the U. S. capitol is a virtual museum of nineteenth-century American architectural styles. This book highlights the rich urban context of the Hill, covering twenty-two homes along with its many parks, significant buildings, and historic sites. Highlights include the Congressional Cemetery, the historic commercial areas of Pennsylvania Avenue, and the oldest public residence in the city after the White House-the Sewall-Belmont house.
