Summary

This quote suggests that the city of Washington is filled with extravagant and grand buildings that largely serve as symbols or facades rather than being functional or practical. It implies that these structures were primarily designed to impress rather than to serve the needs and functions of the people who actually work in them, particularly government employees. The phrase "endless series of mock palaces" implies a certain dissatisfaction with the excessive opulence and lack of practicality, possibly reflecting a criticism of the priorities and values embodied by the city.
