That Time When an NJIT Grad Designed the Most Beautiful Buildings in D.C.

Well, no, not quite. He — they were all “he” then — technically graduated from Newark Technical School. But it counts. His name was Maj. George Oakley Totten, Jr. He was born in New York City on December 5, 1866, to George Oakley and Mary Elizabeth (Styles) Totten. George’s family had a long history in New York; his ancestors fought in the American Revolution and his great-grandfather founded Tottenville in Staten Island. George’s father (“senior” to his “junior”) was a New York-based businessman who became a chief real estate investor in Newark.

But for soil-dwellers of the crawling variety, the hurdle remains: How do they reach new, far-off habitats?
