 DISTRICT II
Presented at the National Building Museum Saturday, November 19, 2016 - Sunday, February 12, 2017

The works both reflect and confront each other, providing a sense of the physical and social upheavals experienced by the city in those decades.
DISTRICT II is organized by the Historical Society of Washington, D.C. in collaboration with the National Building Museum. Learn More Sponsored by
