Buildings of the District of Columbia

by Pamela Scott, Antoinette J. Lee

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.

I finished it in one sense but it's a great reference book. It reminded me to look up. It wasn't just architecture - it was history and culture and art. I look at the DC neighborhoods with a new eye.
