L'Enfant's legacy and findings of Mr. Wright
Overview of your Washington Dc tour
Amazing what architects can do with swampland. I n 1791, George Washington handpicked Pierre L'Enfant to lay out a plan for the capital city, which was once marshy and muddy. The Frenchman was fired a year later for his stubborn ways, yet despite this his blueprints stayed. Today, the numbered and lettered streets contain some design standouts that L'Enfant never imagined: namely Modernist, Gothic, Renaissance and Second Empire styles mixed in among the predominant neoclassical design.
