DC’s Great Heights
20 05 2009The folks over at WeLoveDC have a great article up about the height limits in our fair city, which often (incorrectly) reference the Capitol Dome. However they bring up a great point that if no building could be taller than the dome, than we would have a bunch of 28 story buildings around town. The rule was actually refined so that “no building could be more than twenty feet taller than the width of the street” in most places.
And to think all this got started because of a single condo! [Photo: cityflickr]
