This is a great plug for Meigs--whom Abby and I know well from our Congressional Cemetery study (much of his family buried there). Your photography really does the trick. Not all share your admiration of the building, I fear. Supposedly, General Phil Sheridan said that the only problem with the building was that it was fire-proof. One other wit called it Meigs' Great Red Barn. We agree with you, however. Rome is, indeed, very much alive in the building and, as you know, elsewhere throughout the District of Columbia.<br /><br />Ron JohnsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909250542927433291noreply@blogger.com
