	L’ENFANT, PIERRE CHARLES. The Columbia Encyclopedia: Sixth Edition. 2000
		L’Enfant had remodeled the New York City city hall to serve as a temporary seat of federal government when he was asked (1789) by Washington to submit plans for the capital city at Washington.
		In 1889, L’Enfant’s plans were exhumed from the archives, and in 1901 the design of the capital was developed along the lines that he had laid down.
		L’Enfant’s body was moved to the Arlington National Cemetery in 1909.

	The L'Enfant and McMillian Plans
		L'Enfant specified in notes accompanying the plan that these avenues were to be wide, grand, lined with trees, and situated in a manner that would visually connect ideal topographical sites throughout the city, where important structures, monuments, and fountains were to be erected.
		L'Enfant opposed selling land prematurely, refused to furnish his map to the city commissioners in time for the sale, and was reluctantly relieved of his duties by George Washington.
		L'Enfant's plan was magnified and expanded during the early decades of the 20th century with the reclamation of land for waterfront parks, parkways, an improved Mall and new monuments and vistas.

		Some people started calling the city L'Enfant had designed as "the city of magnificent distances." When Charles Dickens visited in 1844 he amended that to "the city of magnificent intentions" marked by "spacious avenues that begin in nothing, and lead nowhere." It was designed, he noted, "by an aspiring Frenchman."
		In the spring of 1909 L'Enfant's remains were removed from the garden of the house in Maryland where they had rested since 1825.

		L'Enfant planned for two series of broad avenues, named for the states, that would converge into circular intersections, which were intended to complete long vistas and give direction and character to the city.
		Although L'Enfant's design became the basis for landsales, construction and planning, President Washington fired him a year after he was hired because, according to Encyclopedia Americana, L'Enfant "forged ahead regardless of his orders, the budget, or landowners with prior claims."
		In 1791 Andrew Ellicott, who took over L'Enfant's position in 1792 when he was fired, asked Banneker, then 60, to help him survey the area for the national capital - a fact historians, authors, encyclopedias and diversity council members agree on.
