This website is an extremely impressive compilation of different designs from the history of the United States. There is everything from symbols to building outlines. It is absolutely fascinating to see a side of something I had never considered. Everyone has areas of interest and I think that if this was brought to a class of adolescents they would eat it up. Some students would be more interested in discovering the construction behind a naval fort while others are more excited about the architecture of a Federal Post Office from 1904. This is a phenomenal exhibit that will bring historical components to life for the students who find joy in the alternative forms of history.
