Since the early nineteenth century, an unusually rich and varied
array of housing stock has been created in the Washington, D.C.,
metropolitan area. Washington has harbored numerous private-sector
initiatives to develop model housing projects, and it has also been
a proving ground for federal policies crafted to improve living
conditions for households of middle and moderate income. In
addition, the large, middle-class African American population has
left a distinct imprint on the metropolitan area's domestic
landscape, developing its own options for housing in city and
suburb alike. Profusely illustrated, with thirteen chapters by
fourteen esteemed authors, "Housing Washington" examines the
storied legacy of residential development in our nation's capital,
from the early nineteenth century to the present. By focusing on a
wide variety of mainstream patterns and interweaving the threads of
convention and change as well as those of race and class, this
books offers a fresh perspective on metropolitan dwelling places
and breaks new ground in urban studies and architectural and
planning history.
