half of the team that designed the Library of Congress. While Roosevelt walked to church, he is best known for his horse riding prowess against the Spaniards.

Chevy Chase Castle
Once an early 20th castle stood atop a hill in Chevy Chase close by Rock Creek. The castle was demolished in approximately the 1960s for a modern housing development.
Only the gatehouse, adjacent to a small pond still stands.
