The Capitol.
The Capitol is the seat of the US Congress. Building of the Capitol in Washington, D. C., was begun in 1793. Its cornerstone was laid by the President amid great pomp. Music sounded and artillery fired salutes as George Washington declared the stone “well and truly laid”.
In 1800 the building was partly completed, and Congress, removing from Philadelphia, met here, for the first time in the new capital. Here the manifold political forces affecting the destinies of the land met in dramatic conflicts.
The Capitol Building dominates all Washington. It stands on the crest of a hill rising above the Potomac River. The site was chosen by Pierre L’Enfant when he sought to lay out the capital. The Capitol consists of a central building crowned by a great dome and connected at each end by galleries with a large wing. The north wing contains the Senate Chamber, and the south wing – the House of Representatives.
The great central dome appears too heavy for the low facade. Topping the dome is the 19-foot bronze statue of Freedom by Thomas Crawford. She watches, calm and unruffled, over all the things that are done in her name in the building below. The 36 columns, which surround the lower part of the dome, represent the states in the Union at the time this impressive structure was designed. Beneath the dome is a monumental hall called the Rotunda, decorated with works of art relating to American history.
Both chambers of the Congress are open to public, they have visitors’ galleries, there is a special gallery for foreign diplomats. Special places are set aside for press, radio and TV representatives. Inside the Capitol, among the most precious relics of the past, the original of the Declaration of Independence may be seen. The names of those who had signed it are hardly visible except John Hancock’s bold signature, written so that the King of England might read it without his spectacles.
Inaugurations of president and vice-presidents are held in front of the Capitol.
