I stopped by the National Building Museum on my way out of D.C. on Saturday, quite by accident. I thought I may have read the map wrong - surely this would have been something someone sometime would have recommended I see.
The building itself was constructed to house the Pension Bureau, at a time when Washington did not want to risk civil war veterans occupying the city.
And it is magnificent, just to stand inside and look up.
Great Society architecture is much more beautiful, and equally grand, to Fascist architecture, and that is a lesson we should learn and know in these times. That is the choice we face.
