Photograph by David Coleman. The United States Capitol Building, situated atop Jenkins Hill (now known as Capitol Hill), is the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. government. This iconic structure, with its gleaming white exterior and majestic dome, is a testament to neoclassical architecture and American democratic ideals. The building's design, evolving over more than two centuries, reflects contributions from multiple architects including William Thornton, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and Thomas U. Walter. The central dome, completed in 1866, stands 288 feet (88 meters) tall and is crowned by the bronze Statue of Freedom. The Capitol's east and west wings house the Senate and House of Representatives respectively, symbolizing the bicameral nature of the U.S. Congress. Beyond its legislative function, the Capitol serves as a museum of American art and history, featuring numerous artworks, frescoes, and reliefs throughout its halls and chambers. The building has been witness to many significant events in American history, from presidential inaugurations to State of the Union addresses. As the visual focal point of the National Mall and the Washington, DC skyline, the Capitol Building stands not just as a working government building, but as an enduring symbol of American democracy and the principles of representative government.
