Peatross will examine drawings for some of Washington's most important buildings, monuments, and memorials, as well as, anonymous structures of everyday life and ambitious projects that were never built. Peatross will explore the history and development of a city and nation through the buildings, monuments, and public and private spaces that have given them physical form and symbolic meaning. C.
