Washington, D.C. (the District of Columbia) is the capital of the United States and seat of the federal government, home to approximately 700,000 residents in the city and 6.4 million in the metro area. It operates on Eastern Time (EST/EDT). Washington D.C. is uniquely designed — its grid layout, with diagonal avenues overlaid, was planned by French engineer Pierre Charles L'Enfant in 1791. The National Mall, a 1.9-mile-long open landscaped park, connects the Lincoln Memorial to the US Capitol and is flanked by the world's most visited free museum complex — the Smithsonian Institution's 19 museums. The White House has been the official residence of every US President since John Adams in 1800. The city has no skyscrapers due to the Height of Buildings Act of 1910, which limits building height to 130 feet — making DC one of the few major capitals with a notably low skyline.
