built, as they were in Paris in the
days of the Terror. On his plan he
designated various places where the
great public buildings of the future
should be put. For nearly half hun
dred years Major L'Enfant was re-
garded as an impractical dreamer, al
though his street plan was adh red to.
u was only after the civil wa. that
people began to realize in a small
way that his vision of the future
greatness of the nations capital was
likely to come true some day. But
even up to ten years or so ago his
plans slumbered in the archives OF
the government. Then they were TAX
en- out and studied in the light of mod
ern development, and it was found
they could not be improved upon, and
that If they were carried out in every
detail Washington would surpass ev-
cry other city in the world in beauty.
The completion of these ancient
plans of this French engineer is still
far away, for it will take many years
and much money to accomplish them
in all their details. But the three mas
sive buildings whose location was des-
ignated so long ago will be the most
important step toward their fulfill
ment that has been taken since the
capitol was erected.
