Our Classical Heritage

A selected, bold and refreshing look at the great monuments of our national heritage: With keen observations and telling insights the author guides the reader along a walking tour of Washington, DC, here-and-there pausing to describe some feature of architecture or statuary, to illuminate an intent of the Nation’s Founders or some accident of history in telling anecdote, quip or criticism as only a sculptor-architect who has created monuments can do, as only a brave and independent scholar would do.  Here is a brief, aesthetic history of our nation’s Capital, a stroll along her streets and plazas, a pleasure of beauty, a censure of ugliness, a lesson, an amusement, a delight: open, read, and enjoy the history, the art and architecture of Washington, DC, our classical heritage.
