• catalog abstract ""Built on an almost untouched plot of land on the Potomac River, Washington D.C. has grown from a collection of small villages into a major metropolis with a central position on the world stage. Author Joseph R. Passanneau has crafted an account that complements a comprehensive and detailed text with an array of images, both archival and contemporary." "Passonneau weaves his discussion around the continuous growth, change, and renewal of the city, focusing on various physical and social components - federal structures both formal and utilitarian; central and suburban neighborhoods; transportation technologies, from the stagecoach and the railroad to the Metro and the airplane; patterns of settlement based on ever changing demographics. Illustrations include hand-tinted perspective drawings, photographs from all eras of Washington's history, and sketches. Foremost among the visual material is a series of fold-out maps prepared by the author that show every structure in central Washington and Georgetown at key points in the city's history. As the city continues to develop into the twenty-first century and beyond, these maps and books will provide reference and a guideline."--Jacket.".
