Now let’s take our first look at the capital. For a few moments you may feel you are dreaming and that you have stepped back through the centuries into ancient Greece. Many of the beautiful, shining building are built in the noble style of the ancient Greek temples, and stand in wide avenues amid trees and fountains. Most of the mare museums or government offices. Government is the chief business of Washington, and the chief government building is called the Capitol. With its high dome, it looks a little like St. Paul’s in London or St. Peter’s in Rome. It stands on a hill overlooking the city, which is divided by Rock Creek Park. A long wide avenue called the Mall leads to the Capitol. At the other end of this avenue a tall, white, needle-like building points to the sky. This is, of course, the highest ‘needle’ in the world! -- the Washington Monument
