The Capitol Building, whose cornerstone was laid in 1793 by then President George Washington, is the symbol of American government.

Deemed as one of the most stately buildings in the world, it is constructed of Massachusetts marble and Virginia sandstone, with a cast iron dome to complete the building.

Completed in 1865 by Constantino Brumidi, the Frescoe covers the 4, 664 square feet inside the dome of the Capitol Building.

Was originally designed by James Hoban. Construction began in 1792 and was completed in 1800 .

The president meets members from the Office of Homeland Security and other White House staff in the Oval Office.

The State Dining Room is currently used for formal dining.

Modeled on the Greek Parthenon, the Lincoln Memorial was designed by Henry Bacon and completed in 1922.

Its 36 columns represent the number of states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s assassination in 1865.

In the center hall of the structure sits a 19-foot tall statue of Abraham Lincoln.

The memorial is located at the west end of the Mall on the banks of the Potomac River and is the site of many historical events, such as the Dr. Martin Luther King “I have a dream” speech.

“ House of Prayer for all People” is built of Indiana limestone without the use of steel in its construction.
