The band played "Auld Lang Syne" and the walls of the 52-year-old Navy-Munitions buildings between the Reflecting Pool and Constitution Avenue NW finally came tumbling down yesterday. As dignitaries and the press watched, an elaborate ceremony marked the beginning of the end of the last unsightly World War I-vintage "temporary" buildings that stood amidst trees and monuments on the Mall. Franklin D. Roosevelt, as under secretary of the Navy, had approved construction of the buildings there, which took just six months in 1917 and 1918. He later publicly regretted his choice, as have Washingtonians and tourists ever since…. .... the 20-man ceremonial unit of the Navy Band played, "Won't you come home, Bill Bailey, won't you come home?" as white-gloved policemen stood watch on the crowd of military brass, civilian employees and construction workers.

Built with the same Tennessee marble as the National Gallery of Art which it faces, the Air and Space Museum has a very different feel. Designed in the late 20th Century Modern style, the museum focuses on balance of symmetry. The most prominent architectural feature is its large glass windows, which are used to bring the sky into the museum and to make a few of the objects visible from outside on the Mall. These walls also serve a functional purpose, with the west wall opening to allow planes being exhibited to be moved.

In 1983, it was finally placed in its present location outside the Federal Courthouse.

Title A name given to the resource Paddles the Beaver Description An account of the resource In the late 1990s, beavers threatened the cherry trees at the Tidal Basin, gnawing on the trunks and killing at least five trees. The National Park Service had to find a way to preserve the trees without harming the beavers. They placed protective cages, tall enough to keep out a large beaver, around the bases of the cherry trees. In addition, they made these furry residents of the Tidal Basin part of the Cherry Blossom Festival. Paddles the Beaver is the official mascot of the Festival and appears on signs reminding visitors not to pick blossoms or climb the trees.
