Product Information

Excerpt from A Guide to the City of Washington: What to See, and How to See It Approaching the city from the north, by way of the Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the prominent object that meets the expectant gaze of the visitor is the lofty Dome of the Capitol, surmounted by a bronze statute of the Goddness of Liberty, and marking the spot where the nation's laws are made and its liberties protected. On the left is the eastern section of the city, or what is known as the "Capitol Hill" and "Navy Yard," comprising the 5th and 6th wards. Although the Capitol building fronts towards this part of the city, and it was originally designed to be the fashionable and most populous section, it is, with the exception of the immediate vicinity of the Capitol building, but thinly settled. Nevertheless it is one of the most pleasant locations in the city, being very healthful, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country, and rapidly increasing in the number of its population and the value of its property. On the right is the main portion of the city, and out of the mass of private dwellings, and churches rearing their loftly spires, the visitor can easily distinguish the many white marble structures indicating the location of some Government Department. But the train has arrived in the Depot, and we are ready to alight. The front of the Depot faces on "New Jersey avenue," a wide street leading directly from the Capitol, which is but a few rods our left. We will find no lack of "accommodating" hackmen, who assure us of safe and rapid conveyance to any part of the city; and, to their credit be it spoken, they are generally faithful in the fulfillment of their promises.
