MALL REALIZES ARCHITECT'S DREAM

Washington Park F ulfills Vision of F yenchman Who Planned U.S. Capital

By NEA SERVICE

ASHINGTON, March 12.— Out of the artistic dream of the Frenchman L’Enfant 145 years

\

Development of the Mall area from the U. S. Capitol to the Washington Monument, once a barren, unkempt commons, and the habitat in the yesteryears of stray dogs and livestock, is now nearing completion. Thus the central feature of I’Enfant’s plan for creation of the Federal city, prepared at the or= der of President George Washington in 1791, has been retrieved and used in its full essence. From a standpoint of history and achitectural achievement, no single factor in development of the national capital has attained the importance of the Mall, Fed= eral park officials believe.

” " =

IERRE CHARLES L’ENFANT, a famed French architect, conceived the Mall early, buy with inopportunity. Those were dark days in the city’s history and the plan of a great and esthetic Wash=ington was forgotten. Much of the area was left a stagnant morass. In later years a railroad was permitted to lay its tracks across the park at Seventh St.®2and the banks of Tiber Creek, which bordered the Mall on the present site of Constitution Ave., became spotted with the nondescript shacks of squatters. It was not until the turn of the century, in fact, that civic awak=ening revived the original Mall developed. Later, the Toth Congress adopted an act authorizing procedure with the plans of L’Enfant and since great progress has been made. More recently. the Public Works Administration has driven the development to within 90 per cent of completion.

RINCIPAL work achieved by PWA has been opening of the beautiful vista between the Capitol and the Washington Monument, which extends beyond to

the Arlington Memorial Bridge to the historic Lee mansion and Arlington National Cemetery. At the same time, PWA has developed Union Square, at the foot of the Capitol grounds, constructed roads and walks, planted orna-

"THIS IS MY STORY"

"Attention and admiration were the things through all my childhood which I wanted, because I was made to feel so conscious of the fact that nothing about me would attract attention or would bring me

admiration..."

No autobiography in recent years has shown the capacity for self-analysis, the spirit of unglossed truthtelling, that you'll find in “THIS IS MY STORY"... Eleanor Roosevelt's own story of her life from earliest childhood. It begins in the

One of the important achievements at the Union Square was the saving of valuable and important trees, many of which had been planted by former Presi dents. Countless new trees were planted in addition. Brilliant lighting facilities were also installed throughout the Mall. PWA has spent $1,050,000 on the project. Considerable work remains to complete the entire Mall development, but this much is assured-—the dream of L'Enfant and George Washington has not been in vain.
