Good Job! I lived in DC for almost 15 years (in 3 of the four quadrants) and I definitely learned a few things. Very much looking forward to the rest. 👍
My Dad was assigned at Navy Admin at Pentagon. We had a home not far away in an area called Fort Hunt , Va. He was assigned to the Pentagon for eight years during the 1970s: Nixon ( Ford), Carter & a bit of the Reagan administrations....so, among other aspects, we saw how nearly complete the personnel & objectives are upended if the presid. political party changes from one administration, to the next. I absolutely LOVED all the educational resources and some nature asoects at DC....one example is the Cherry Blossom Festival each Spring. Thank you for this insightful upload of descriotion & photos of early DC❤
I grew up just outside DC, so this is particularly interesting to me. The National Cathedral’s stone were all hand-carved by master craftsmen, and it completing the work was a daunting task. I was lucky enough to tour the stone carvers’ studio when I was a child. It was fascinating, and maybe my first exposure to large scale art studios. I’ve run large art studios for most of my career, so this visit may have planted a seed in my young heart.
My Great Grandfather worked on the National Cathedral. I got a picture of him at the topping of the bell tower/ steeple. He worked on many monuments, museums, the National Archives, and The Washington Mational Masonic Memorial, in Alexandria, Va.

So cool to see how our capitol looked like before all the barricades were installed.

My father worked in the WWI buildings on the north side of the Refecting Pool until the late 1970's.

@@josieswanson7764 What an impressive legacy! I have so much respect for stonemasons like your great grandfather.
I'm a third generation Washingtonian. It was a great place to grow up.
Yes yes that was a really good idea and presentation. A tour of D.C 100 years ago..... i got lost in that.
Well done! A lot of this, I did not know.
Happy and safe holidays! Love your channel!
Enjoyed!
is any of this there now? I need a then and Now.
The war buildings are gone.
And, I suspect, all the elm trees.
The 1920s is definitely the most fascinating decade!
DC was a very busy city back in the 1910s-1920s...really felt like a big city..!
It's even more busy today
is there by chance a special tree inside the monument?
Coolio, Joe!
