B—12 D.C. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY REVIEWED City Is Designed on Lines| Never Surpassed, Says Dr. Charles Moore. The architectural history of Wash- ington and plans for its future develop- | ment were reviewed last night by Dr.| Charles Moore, chairman of the Fine Arts Commission, In an address before the Columbia Historical Society, meet- ing in the Cosmos Club. He stressed the parts played by the designers of the city from L’Enfant to the group of men responsible for the plans of the monumental structures now rising to completion. “To understand the architecture of Washington,” he said, “you must know the personalities who created it. This seems a truism. But if you attend the official laying of corner stones or un- velling of statues you will listen in vain for the name of architect or sculptor.” The public is more interested, he con- tinued. In the name of the arganization that pays the cost. ‘ Praises Washington. \ Washington. he sald. though not vet, “as we too fondly boast. the most beau- | tiful Capital in the worid.” is “certainly | a city planned on lines of monumental grandeur never surpassed by man | Dr. Moore then launched into a his- | torv of the successive achitects who have built the National Capital and their handiwork. The spirit of the city, he said, reflects the national spirit and was expressed in general outlines by L'Enfant, trained in the classical atmosphere of the Paris achool. “The speaker told of Thomas Jeffer- &n's_encouragement of the best in American architecture and his insist- ence on public buildings worthy of the Nation. .“The Civil War brought chaos to the arts” he related. “It destroyed the social order of the South and im-| poverished that great section of the country, in which tradition and culture had prevailed among the leaders. In the North and West the creation of | new forms of wealth, due to rapid ex- pansion in manufactures and trans- portation, beat down old standards of education and culture. When the Nation paused to take account of its condition at the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876, the fine arts were either debased or negligible.” Allowed to Die Down. Building in Washington was almost &t a standstill during this period, Dr. | Moore declared, and the State, War and | Navy Building is one of the era's few examples here. Dr. Moore also roundly condemned the red brick Pension Office, while praising_the Court House, which he | called “Hadfield's little masterpiece.” The Library of Congress. he sald, cuts | off the vista of the Capitol along | Pennsylvania avenue, thus mutilating | the L'Enfant plan. “It is surmounted.” he declared, “by an ill-designed gilded | dome, which in its newness strove to| shout down the dome of the Capitol. By sufferance this moise has been al- | lowed to die down.” | He described the architectural renals- | sance that centered around the Chica; World Feir of 1893 and which gave impetus to the development of the Capital City, resulting in the present | ‘building scheme. The Coolidge plan of a continuing building _appropriation was the out- wth, Dr. Moore said, of a suggestion made while a caller at the White House. Allen C. Clark, president of the soclety, who presided, announced a Tecess until next Fall. GANDHI SOME WEAKER Condition in Fast Since May 8, However, Surprise to Physicians.
