Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A History of the National Capital, Vol. 2: From Its Foundation Through the Period of the Adoption of the Act Two years after the destructive visit of the British to the city, its prosperous appearance was noted by a writer in the Rhode Island American, based mainly upon the number of buildings he had noted in course of erection between the public offices and the capitol. The principal centre of the city was showing the influence of the growth in the population. A good proportion of the new structures was being used in whole or in part for the retail business of the city. For up to this period most of the shopping had been done in Georgetown and Alexandria, but since the war "the great increase in the number and variety of the stores has rendered it unnecessary to leave the city to procure almost any article of necessity, convenience or even of luxury." The average yearly increase of about 500 in the population during the last decade was maintained, although the influence of the war made the growth uneven, as 39 percent of it was gained in the last two years of the current decade.
