Buildings of the District of Columbia (Buildings of the United States)

Examining the architecture of the nation's capital, Pamela Scott and Antoinette J. Lee divide the city into fourteen sections, from the Mall to the area southeast of the Anacostia River. The book includes entries on all major public and government buildings, monuments and memorials, residential buildings and neighborhoods, parks and recreational areas, and commercial and industrial centers. Within this city-wide survey, the volume also traces the various changes in Washington's architectural character from the Revolutionary War to the post-World War II era.
