  National Mall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Mall is an open-area public park in downtown Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.
The National Mall refers specifically to the land stretching from the grounds of the Washington Monument to the United States Capitol directly to the east.

 The Mall, Washington, D.C.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Mall, Washington, D.C. The story of the Mall is the development of a particular space at the symbolic and economic center of the nation's capital.
However, the first large-scale federal development of the Mall, modelled after Andrew Jackson Downing's plan in 1851, bore little resemblance to L'Enfant's plan and can be read as a response to the twin crises of slavery and secession, and to growing anxiety over urbanization.
The naturalistic, picturesque gardens planted on the Mall in the latter half of the nineteenth century were meant to affirm the refinement of slaveholding society and to offer a pastoral retreat from the "wilderness of bricks."
