Non-Architecture Structure

I have been to the D.C. area many times, but this is the first time I have been to this memorial. It is an appropriate Memorial Day post, even though it is a bit late.

D.C. Dome

I Like Circles...

therefore, I like this building.



This is in D.C. about one block from the mall. I didn't get closer than this, so I really don't know what the building is.

More Library of Congress Pictures

What can I say? It's an interesting building!

Exterior of the L.O.C.

The Library of Congress has some interesting elements on the exterior as well as the interior.

The Afterglow of Architecture

Images from DC around the WWII Memorial.

Library of Congress

Who would be interested in going to a place with the name, Library of Congress? I wasn't interested, but I got roped into it. Now I want to go spend some time researching there. It is a beautiful building. There are so many interesting resources and artifacts here, as well as books of course.

Ford's Theatre Interior

The newly renovated Ford's Theatre. We saw Civil War, the musical.



My partial view seat...behind a column, and the balcony overhang. I couldn't see the whole show.


Ceiling painting.



President Lincoln's box

Wooden Window Elements

Wooden window elements and some roof accents on a building right by Ford's Theatre.

Ford's Theatre

Across the street from Ford's Theatre is the house where President Lincoln died. Architecturally unremarkable, but historically significant.


This is the new entryway to Ford's Theatre. It has just reopened after renovations.


Some exterior building details.

Look At Those Acanthus Leaves!

These acanthus leaves are definitely in the Roman style, but who would expect anything else from Washington D.C.?




These Corinthian Columns are on the pavilion in Arlington Cemetery. This structure is up by the tomb of the unknown soldier where the changing of the guard takes place.

The Architecture & Sculpture of Remembrance

More Pics of the Capitol Building

Different views of the Capitol Building and the light posts around it.

Capitol Hill Design

This is very simple, but I really like circles. It was up by the Capitol building in Washington D.C.

One Of The Most Famous

No blog about architecture would be complete without the Flatiron Building. I would say this is one of the three most famous buildings in New York.



It's at 5th Avenue and 23rd Street.
