Flanked by tower of late 19th century Old Post Office,on Pennsylvania Ave, on the left and the early to mid 19th century US Capitol Building, Capitol Hill, on the right.
How the articulation of monumental architecture changes with the architectural taste at the period of design, the intended symbolism of the building, its location, and the social and political attitudes when the project was conceived.
This morning I gave another of my tours in Rock Creek Park of the carved stones removed from the U.S. Capitol Building.
I always enjoy these tours as the people are knowledgeable and curious,asking excellent questions
I had the pleasure of giving my tour of Capitol stones today to a very nice group of people. (c)Bill Lebovich,2016
