Art and History of Washington D.C. by Bruce R. Smith

Art and History of Washington D.C. is a collection of full-color photographs of the famous buildings, monuments, museums, and neighborhoods of D.C. with short discussions of each. Beautiful photography and decent coverage of the history and relevant points of each location featured, though sometimes fails to make perfectly clear what one is looking at in the photos.
