laura comes through...

my friend laura, who i put up a photo of yesterday not knowing about the smithsonian has responded, so i thought it was fair to post her response...

"The Smithsonian Castle was not moved here from anywhere else. It was built there originally to house the museum goodies. As DC wasn't supposed to be an actual city, the castle was supposed to just be an interest point for the political movers and shakers while they were in town. It wasn't until DC became a city and the collections grew that the castle became the glorious information booth that it is now."

thanks laura!!!
