A signboard in DC along the Federal Triangle Heritage trail, which shows the trail and 16 stops on a map including Federal Triangle, south to The National Mall and Independence Avenue, and northward to E, F, and G Street. The sign talks about neoclassical revival architecture, and the history of the design and construction of Federal Triangle and Pierre L’Enfant, the person asked to be the designer of the city plan for DC. A large photo from the 1920’s shows 5 Piggly Wiggly grocery store trucks (Model T looking cars,) parked in front of what became one of the DOJ buildings.

Federal Triangle Heritage Trail signboard with some cool historical information. #architecture #washington #dc #FederalTriangle #trail #hike
