Love that beautiful statue, “Grief.”
They tore down the Soldier’s Home that was on New Hampshire Avenue almost at the DC line, Eastern Avenue. Now it’s a yuppie townhouse development.

Our church has a section at RCC, with my family plot, so I’ve been there often. The American Institute of Architects has a wonderful book on Washington DC sculpture with a good section on RCC and it’s memorials and mauseleums.
