<p>This book documents the Francis Newland's vision, initially platted in the 1890s, for Chevy Chase as a suburb of Washington, DC. More than a simple land venture, Chevy Chase defined the turn-of-the-century suburban archetype. It was planned as a comprehensive, ideal community that incorporated the the highest principles in transportation, infrastructure, and public institutions, together with high standards for landscape and architectural design. The narrative is enhanced with illustrations of the suburb's development.</p>
