Before the civil war joe citizen could walk into the white house and ask to speak to the president. The security there was terrible until lincolns assasination.

Many buildings look aged and dirty to be new. Fancy buildings everywhere yet dirt roads. They weren't even bricked. Weird to me.

Beautiful captures of our Capital growing. I've never seen some of those pictures and glad Matthew Brady took these pictures.

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden remember these times.

All that I can say is AMAZING! Born and raised in DC and never imagined these scenes. Thank you!

Music is a beautiful match. That soft thump is as though we’re hearing the rhythm of the men (free and slave) build the epicenter of this young empire.

Just finished the book, Empire of Mud, secret history of Washington D.C. This video was a great way to finish the story and add realism to the whole episode, Thanks

Masterfully presented. Top quality work, brilliant editing.

Excellent. It's also nice when captions don't last so long that you have lost interest by the time the photo appears. Some video producers seem to assume that everyone has suffered severe head trauma in a car crash.
