Laid out by Pierre Charles L'Enfant, Pennsylvania Avenue was one of the earliest streets constructed in the Federal City. After inspecting L'Enfant's plan, President Washington referred to the thoroughfare as a "Grand Avenue". While the "grand avenue" was little more than a wide dirt road ridiculed as "The Great Serbonian Bog", Thomas Jefferson had it planted with rows of fast-growing Lombardy poplars.
At one time Pennsylvania Avenue provided an unobstructed view between the White House and the Capitol. The construction of an expansion to the Treasury Building blocked this view, and supposedly President Andrew Jackson did this on purpose. Relations between the president and Congress were strained, and Jackson did not want to see the Capitol out his window, though in reality the Treasury Building was simply built on what was cheap government land.
