The intersection of Jefferson and Monroe is the focus here, and its title plays on the phrase "the true corner," which suggests a bit of local good-natured claim to the spot. The street names point to the "Virginia Dynasty," the run of early presidents from Virginia: Washington, then Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, who held the office for most of the period from 1789 to 1825. Many American towns named their streets for these men in the early 1800s, so a corner bearing both names reflects that civic habit of honoring the founding generation. The Pictorial America board places it among other Jefferson-themed views.
