awesome video at 63 yrs old I just visited DC for the first time this past September as a birthday present from my wife..loved it!

Thank you for this!!!

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. 👍

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.

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.

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!

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❤

Enjoyed!

DC was a very busy city back in the 1910s-1920s...really felt like a big city..!

is any of this there now? I need a then and Now.

The 1920s is definitely the most fascinating decade!

Epic

is there by chance a special tree inside the monument?

Coolio, Joe!
