Arthur Cotton Moore was always thinking of ways to improve D.C.

He had other ideas, too: for the“Take the Kennedy Center,” he said. “That's the largest flat roof in town. Why wouldn't that be a perfect place for solar panels?”In his career, Arthur worked on celebrated renovations of the Library of Congress Jefferson Building and the Old Post Office.
He’d wanted a protected space for boats to pull in and tie up, with a low bridge like the sort over an Amsterdam canal. “The search [for locations] is difficult in the typical Washington way,” he wrote. “Two museums with large constituencies and therefore great clout in Congress give it an urgency and a tension.”The Smithsonian tells me a decision has yet to be made for placing the two new buildings. Arthur’s idea was to relocate the jumble of access roads south of the Washington Monument and put both museums between the monument and the Tidal Basin.
