Review # 1 was written on 2009-02-28 00:00:00 Margo King While I didn't read this one from cover-to-cover, I found it terrific browsing material. It'll come in handy as I explore DC's architecture in the future, too. One thing I really liked was that this is not a "review by committee" guide -- it's fairly opinionated, but in a good way. I gained some insight into some of the buildings that have intrigued me, and found notes on a number of buildings I'd like to take a closer look at. Highly recommended for architecture buffs -- especially ones in the DC area (or planning a visit).

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-04 00:00:00 Suzanne Handall I have a thing for architecture - and living in the DC area there is a plethora of options to explore here in terms of style. I've enjoyed this book for a couple years now - not reading it straight through but instead using it every once in a while before going into the district for meetings or fun. The size is easy to stash in a backpack or bigger bag and it's very informative.
