A HISTORICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN THE
WASHINGTON, D.C., METROPOLITAN AREA
Compiled by Richard Longstreth
2001, revised 7 May 2006
This listing focuses on historical studies, with an emphasis is on scholarly work published during the past forty years. I have also included some popular histories due to the wealth of information they afford and monographs on out-of-town architects who made a major contribution locally. Institutional histories are generally not included unless they cover the physical dimension in some detail.
The geographic area covered outside the District of Columbia encompasses Montgomery and Prince George's counties in Maryland and Arlington and Fairfax counties as well as the independent municipalities of Alexandria and Falls Church in Virginia.
Listings are broken down into the following categories: 1) General, Economic, and Social Histories; 2) Urbanism; 3) Architects, Builders, Engineers, Landscape Architects, and Planners; 4) Architecture and Landscape Architecture, General; 5) Commercial Buildings; 6) Governmental and Military Buildings; 7) Houses and Housing; 8) Institutional Buildings; 9) Monuments and Outdoor Sculpture; 9) Religious Buildings; 10) Residential Development and Neighborhoods; 11) Transportation Facilities and Systems; 12) Pictorial Histories; 13) Guides; 14) Maryland; and 15) Virginia. Studies focusing on building or landscape types, aside from houses, are generally listed under the appropriate typological category even if their subjects are located Maryland or Virginia. The categories were developed for convenient reference, but most listings could easily be in at least two such groupings, so scanning the range of potential categories is recommended. Additional material on Maryland can be found in Richard Longstreth, comp., "A Historical Bibliography of the Built Environment in Baltimore and Maryland," on this website.
Repositories consulted include the Alexandria Public Library, Special Collections; Arlington County Public Library, Virginia Room; District of Columbia Public Library, Washingtoniana Division; Fairfax City Regional Library, Virginia Room; General Services Administration Library; George Washington University, Gelman Library; Historical Society of Washington, D.C.; Library of Congress; Montgomery County Historical Society; National Park Service, National Capital Region, Technical Information Center; Prince George's County Memorial Library System, Hyattsville Branch, Maryland Room; and University of Maryland, Architecture Library and McKeldin Library.
Thanks go to Howard Gillette, Eileen McGuckian, Susan Pearl, Pamela Scott, and Richard Guy Wilson for reviewing a draft and adding to the list. Additions and corrections are welcome; please send them to me at rwl@gwu.edu.
