I'm afraid not, Donna. We old-timers only speculate that he could based on the elevation of the asylum in D.C. compared to the White House and the fact that there were few buildings to hinder the view. As most of you know, even today, D.C. does not have skyscrapers. The current mayor is trying to change that, however. Silly me hopes he fails. I will always think that such landmarks as the Capitol Dome and the Washington Monument should standout on the landscape. Not to mention that, when I find myself lost in the city, I need to see the Washington Monument and steer towards it to get back on track.
