Sixteenth Street NW: Washington, DC's Avenue of Ambitions - Hardcover

by John Deferrari (Author), Douglas Peter Sefton (Author)

DeFerrari and Sefton have created a highly illustrated architectural "biography" of one of DC's most important boulevards. This north-south artery-which runs from the White House, through DC, and to the Maryland border-is as central to the cityscape as it is to DC's history and culture.
