Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pocket Guide to Washington: A Simple and Handy Stranger's Companion, at the National Capital
The distance point of Washington is the Capitol, the principal front of which faces true to the east, and which is discernible from almost every part of the city, by reason of its lofty dome, topped by a great bronze statue representing Freedom.
The city lies mainly to the northwestward of the Capitol, and the chief thoroughfare is Pennsylvania Avenue, from the west gate of the Capitol to the Treasury, a distance of about one mile.
