Keywords:	The French Connection in Washington
Issue Date:	2007
Publisher:	for the U.S. Capitol Historical Society
Description:	The five essays in this volume explore aspects of the French influences on the artistic and architectural environment of the nation’s capital that continued well after the well-known contributions of Peter Charles L’Enfant, the transplanted French military officer who designed the city’s plan. His vision of a majestic capital on a grand European scale remains evident today in the placement of the Capitol, the Mall, and the city’s monumental core. As the articles in this volume attest, French influence, however, extends from the city’s major federal and public buildings to the city’s commercial and residential architecture as well.
