Now Washington is administratively divided into four parts – geographical quadrants – Northwest (NW), Northeast (NE), Southeast (SE) and Southwest (SW). The central point of the city is a marble compass sign laid out on the floor of one of the premises of the Capitol. Although the city was originally conceived as a regular square, now its borders have complex outlines and Washington’s quadrants vary greatly in area (the largest of them is the Northwest, the smallest is the Southwest).
Streets in the District of Columbia are laid out in a grid pattern with east-west (so-called “letter streets”, such as K Street, K Street) and north-south (“numbered streets”, such as Fourth Street, 4th Street) and with intersecting diagonals named after US states (for example, Massachusetts Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue). Addresses in Washington contain the street name, house number and quadrant abbreviation, and the numbers are counted from the Capitol (for example, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW – the address of the White House, the residence of the President of the United States).
In Washington, D.C., there is a rule established back in 1910 that limits the maximum height of buildings. The tallest building in the city is the Washington Moment on the National Mall.
The central part of the American capital is characterized by solemn, “ceremonial” architecture, mostly in the classical style. The District of Columbia is home to several of the most popular buildings and structures in the United States listed by the American Institute of Architects, including the White House, the National Cathedral, the Jefferson Memorial, the United States Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Washington Monument, the buildings the US Supreme Court and the Library of Congress, Union Station and others.
The District of Columbia is one of the largest educational centers in the United States. Among the most famous universities of the capital are George Washington University, Georgetown University and others.
All the big four American sports leagues are represented in the city, including the Washington Nationals baseball team, the Washington Redskins football team, the Washington Capitals hockey team and the Washington Wizards basketball team.
There are an extremely large number of museums and memorials in Washington, a significant part of which is located along the National Mall. Largely due to them, and also due to historical significance, Washington is one of the most popular attractions in the United States of America.
