  • Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists Have Gained the Upper Hand in Protecting Historic Buildings
    Tear It Down! Save It! Preservationists have gained the upper hand in protecting historic buildings. Now the ques- tion is whether examples of modern architecture— such as these three buildings —deserve the same respect as the great buildings of the past. By Larry Van Dyne The church at 16th and I streets in downtown DC does not match the usual images of a vi- sually appealing house of worship. It bears no resemblance to the picturesque churches of New England with their white clapboard and soaring steeples. And it has none of the robust stonework and stained-glass windows of a Gothic cathedral. The Third Church of Christ, Scientist, is modern architecture. Octagonal in shape, its walls rise 60 feet in roughcast concrete with only a couple of windows and a cantilevered carillon interrupting the gray façade. Surrounded by an empty plaza, it leaves the impression of a supersized piece of abstract sculpture. The church sits on a prime tract of land just north of the White House. The site is so valua- ble that a Washington-based real-estate company, ICG Properties, which owns an office building next door, has bought the land under the church and an adjacent building originally owned by the Christian Science home church in Boston. It hopes to cut a deal with the local church to tear down its sanctuary and fill the assembled site with a large office complex. The congregation, which consists of only a few dozen members, is eager to make the deal — hoping to occupy a new church inside the complex.

  • THE WORLD of LAFAYETTE SQUARE Sites Around the Square
    THE WORLD OF LAFAYETTE SQUARE Lafayette Square is a seven-acre public park located directly north of the White House on H Street between 15th and 17th Streets, NW. The Square and the surrounding structures were designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1970. Originally planned as part of the pleasure grounds surrounding the Executive Mansion, the area was called "President's Park". The Square was separated from the White House grounds in 1804 when President Jefferson had Pennsylvania cut through. In 1824, the Square was officially named in honor of General Lafayette of France. A barren common, it was neglected for many years. A race course was laid out along its west side in 1797, and workmen's quarters were thrown up on it during the construction of the White House in the 1790s. A market occupied the site later and, during the War of 1812, soldiers were encamped there. Lafayette Park has been used as a zoo, a slave market, and for many political protests and celebrations. The surrounding neighborhood became the city's most fashionable 19th century residential address. Andrew Jackson Downing landscaped Lafayette Square in 1851 in the picturesque style. (www.nps.gov) Historian and novelist Henry Adams on Washington, D.C. 1868: “La Fayette Square was society . one found all one’s acquaintances as well as hotels, banks, markets, and national government. Beyond the Square the country began. No rich or fashionable stranger had yet discovered the town. No literary of scientific man, no artist, no gentleman without office or employment has ever lived there.

  • Constitution Day 2002 Features a New James Madison Statue for Campus, Book and Speakers
    Embracing Madison Constitution Day 2002 features a new James Madison statue for campus, book and speakers The spirit and character of James Madison was palpable on campus Sept. 17, as the JMU community marked Constitution Day with a symposium on the fourth president and two unveilings. The Cato Institute, a public policy research foundation in Washington, D.C., unveiled its book of essays, James Madison and the Future of Limited Government, with lectures by contributing writers John Samples and Tom G. Palmer. Essays from the collection were first presented at the Cato Institute's 2001 celebration of James Madison's 250th birthday. The institute chose to unveil the book at JMU because of the university's visible effort to celebrate and honor James Madison. The scholars' lectures were followed by a luncheon, panel discussion, book signing and lecture by JMU history professor Chris Arndt. During the day's second unveiling, SGA President Levar Stoney said, "I'm proud to be part of an institution that embraces education and community service. We do Mr. Madison's legacy a great justice today." On behalf of JMU students, Stoney thanked Bruce and Lois Forbes ('64), their son Jeff ('90, '92M) and their daughter-in-law, Stephanie ('92, '93M), who were on hand for the dedication of a bronze life-sized statue of James Madison that the family contributed to JMU. An active alumna, Lois Forbes serves on the university's Madison Day committee, JMU Foundation board of directors and the Duke Club. Stoney added, "I'm proud to be part of the only university in the nation named for James Madison because of the quality of our students from every generation.

  • Washington, D.C. Visitor's Guide
    Washington, D.C. Visitor’s Guide Office of Congresswoman Angie Craig Second District, Minnesota A Note from the Congresswoman Welcome to Washington! I am excited that you have chosen to visit our nation’s capital. My staff and I have put together this guide to help you plan your trip to this historic city. From monuments and museums to restaurants and shopping, there are so many exciting sites to see here in Washington. I encourage you to try to see as much as you can while you are in town. Whether you chose to rent a bike, tour the city by foot, or utilize the DC Metro system, there are a variety of options to help you get around. Some of my favorite attractions are the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Phillips Collection. I also always love catching a game at the Washington Nationals Stadium (though my loyalty will always be with the Minnesota Twins!). Additionally, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial, are some of D.C.’s most popular attractions. There are also nineteen free Smithsonian museums that have something to capture every interest. It’s also great to make a trip to Arlington National Cemetery where you can pay your respects to our fallen veterans and watch the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Washington also has a great food scene. One of my favorite restaurants is Bluejacket, a brewery located in the Navy Yard neighborhood. (need a dish recommendation she likes there or favorite beer).

  • Renewing American Democracy on the 3Rd Century Mall a Vision for the National Mall
    Renewing American Democracy On The 3rd Century Mall A Vision for the National Mall BOARD OF DIRECTORS November 2009 Officers: To Our Readers: Judy Scott Feldman, PhD Chair The recent release of Mall-related plans by the National Park Service, the National Capital W. Kent Cooper, FAIA Planning Commission, and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts prompts the National Coalition to Vice Chair Save Our Mall to speak out while there is time to avoid costly development mistakes. These George H.F. Oberlander, AICP federal agencies claim that together their plans represent the new comprehensive vision for the Vice Chair National Mall. Lisa Benton-Short, PhD But these federal plans are neither comprehensive nor visionary. The Planning Commission’s Secretary /Treasurer “Monumental Core Framework Plan” proposes improvements to federal lands surrounding the Charles I. Cassell, FAIA Mall, which assumes the Mall is “complete” and therefore unchanging. The Park Service’s Director “National Mall Plan” is, in reality, a grounds keeping and maintenance plan applying only to parts George Idelson of the Mall under Park Service jurisdiction. The Smithsonian museums, the National Gallery of Director Art, the White House, and Capitol grounds – none of these institutions located on the National Thomas C. Jensen, Esq. Mall factor into these new plans. Director Conspicuously missing in the federal offerings to date is an updated, long-range vision – in the Joseph D.

  • Glenn Brown and the United States Capitol by William B
    GLENN BROWN AND THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL BY WILLIAM B. BUSHONG HE most important legacy of Washington architect Glenn Brown’s prolific writing career was his two-volume History of the United States Capitol (1900 and 1903). Brown’s History created a remarkable graphic record and comprehensive Taccount of the architecture and art of the nation’s most revered public building. His research, in a period in which few architectural books provided substantive historical text, established Brown as a national authority on government architecture and elicited acclaim from Euro- pean architectural societies. The History also played a significant role in shaping the monumental core of Washington, in effect serving as what Charles Moore called the “textbook” for the McMillan Commis- sion of 1901–02.1 Brown’s family background supplied the blend of political aware- ness and professionalism that inspired the History. His great grand- father, Peter Lenox, supervised construction of the original Capitol Building from 1817 until its completion in 1829. His grandfather, Bed- ford Brown, served two terms in Washington, D.C., as a senator from North Carolina (1829–1842) and counted among his personal friends Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Franklin Pierce, and James 1 Charles Moore (1855–1942), chief aide to Senator James McMillan (R–MI) and secretary to the now famous Senate Park Commission of 1901–02, commonly referred to today as the McMillan Commission, made vital contributions to the administration and editing of the influential 1902 planning report that subsequently shaped the twentieth- century development of the civic core of Washington, D.C. Moore later became chairman of the United States Commission of Fine Arts from 1910 until his retirement in 1937.
