How the Plan Of Detroit Happened to r
semble That Of This City.

How the Plan Of Detroit Happened to Re-
semble That of This City.
although the city Of the straits is full
century older than the city by the Po-
tomac." says the Detroit Free Press, 'still
Detroit was modelled after Washington. 1t
has sometimes been said that the French
city Of Versailles, with it's peculiar system
Of diagonal streets, converging on beautiful
squares and circles, and its concentric, not
to say eccentric, boulevards, was modelled
after cobweb. The plan Of Washington was
designed by the French engineer, Charles
L'Enfant. and he took his design from his own
city Of Versailles. So it may be said that
Detroit was modelled after Washington, Wash
ington after Versailles and Versailles after cob
web"
The writer gives an account Of Augustus B.
Woodward. an eccentric lawyer who lived in
this city when it was being laid out, who was
warm friend Of L'Enfant, and a great admirer
Of the plan he made for Washington. In 1905
Woodward was appointed by Jefferson Judge
Of the territorial supreme court of Michigan.
One Of the first duties devolving upon the
governor and judges after Judge WOODWARD
appointment was the laying out of the new town
Of Detroit after the great fire which laid the
city in ashes WOodward-withh his mind still full
of the plan OF Washington-threw himself into
the work with great enthusiasm. In one Of his
memorandum books, which is still preserved
among the archives of the Detroit Historical
Society, is pasted map Of the original plan
of the city of Washington, cut into several
sections. This sttests the source of his inspira-
ton. The first plan of the governor and judges
bore a striking resemblance to the old plans OF
the capital. II WINS originally intended that
the city Of Washington should front on
the Anacostia, which was then u broad
and noble stream, but hes since grown
| sluggish by the destruction Of the forests
about it's source. 1t is now as time as a
great pond, has lost its distinctive name
and is called "The Branch" The great bronze
Goddess Of Liberty on the dome of the Capitol
looks out over the Anscostia at the rising sun.
The city has, however, grown away from Capt.
tol Hill and IL ever crowding northwestward,
thus defying and unavoidably defacing the old
L'Enfant plan. But glance at map OF WASH
ington from the Anacostia river frontage and
| of the original Woodward plan of Detroit
will show how closely tine judge had kept
the capital in mind. He not only modelled
Detroit after Washington. but laid Woodward
avenue ont in imitation Of Pennsylvnuis ave-
| nue.. II was a little humilisting TO the enthu-
siastic city maker that, in order to identity his
| name with what he foresaw would be the SUI
perb thoroughfare Of the future Detroit, he
should have besu compelled to say TO his col
| leagues that IL was not named for himself, but
