The Robert A. Taft Memorial and Carillon is a carillon dedicated as a memorial to U.S. Senator Robert Alphonso Taft, son of President William Howard Taft.The memorial is located north of the Capitol, on Constitution Avenue between New Jersey Avenue and First Street, N.W. Designed by architect Douglas W. Orr, the memorial consists of a Tennessee marble tower and a 10ft bronze statue of Senator Taft sculpted by Wheeler Williams. The shaft of the tower measures 100ft high, 11ft deep, and 32ft wide. Above the statue is inscribed, "This Memorial to Robert A. Taft, presented by the people to the Congress of the United States, stands as a tribute to the honesty, indomitable courage, and high principles of free government symbolized by his life." The base of the memorial measures 55 by 45ft and stands approximately 15ft high. Jets of water flow into a basin that rings the base.The twenty-seven bells in the upper part of the tower were cast in the Paccard Foundry in Annecy-le-Vieux, France. The largest, or bourdon bell, weighs 7 tons (6350 kg). At the dedication ceremony on April 14, 1959, former President Herbert Hoover stated, "When these great bells ring out, it will be a summons to integrity and courage." The large central bell strikes on the hour, while the smaller fixed bells chime on the quarter-hour. By resolution of Congress, they play "The Star-Spangled Banner" at 2 p.m. on the Fourth of July.

Adas Israel Congregation’s first synagogue, originally located at Sixth & G Streets, NW, was completed in 1876. The congregation worshipped at the building until they outgrew it in 1908, when a larger synagogue structure was completed a few blocks away. The building was then sold and was used for a variety of disparate purposes, including a succession of churches, a bicycle shop, a barber shop, and a pork barbeque carryout restaurant. Unprecedented partnership between federal government, city government, the Jewish Historical Society, and the local Jewish community saved the building from demolition in the late 1960s. It was moved three blocks down G Street, to Third and G Streets, NW, on December 18, 1969. The Society has stewarded this historic building since then. The historic synagogue now is used for children’s programs, lectures, musical performances, commemorative ceremonies, and community events, in addition to being open for tours. Tours are offered by advance appointment, Tuesday - Friday, at 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm.

The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court of the United States. Established pursuant to Article III of the United States Constitution in 1789, it has ultimate (and largely discretionary) appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and over state court cases involving issues of federal law, plus original jurisdiction over a small range of cases. In the legal system of the United States, the Supreme Court is the final interpreter of federal constitutional law, although it may only act within the context of a case in which it has jurisdiction.The Court normally consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment (though no justice has ever been removed). In modern discourse, the justices are often categorized as having conservative, moderate, or liberal philosophies of law and of judicial interpretation. Each justice has one vote, and while many cases are decided unanimously, the highest profile cases often expose ideological beliefs that track with those philosophical or political categories. The Court meets in the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C.

Het Federaal Hooggerechtshof is in het rechtssysteem van de Verenigde Staten het hoogste gerechtshof. Iedere staat kent zijn eigen hooggerechtshof. Daarnaast is er het Supreme Court in Washington D.C.. Wanneer men in Nederland of België refereert aan het Supreme Court, wordt meestal het federale hooggerechtshof in Washington bedoeld.Het Supreme Court is het enige Amerikaanse gerechtshof dat specifiek in de grondwet is opgenomen. Daarnaast richtte het Congres dertien Federal Courts of Appeals op en 95 Federal District Courts . De Federal Courts houden zich bezig met zaken die de grondwet, het federaal recht of federale verdragen aangaan. Daarnaast zijn ze voor het zeerecht verantwoordelijk en voor die gevallen waarbij buitenlandse burgers of regeringen of de Amerikaanse federale regering zelf betrokken zijn.Met enige uitzonderingen worden alleen beroepszaken behandeld door het Supreme Court. Bij de meeste van deze gevallen gaat het om geschillen over de uitleg en grondwettelijkheid van de handelingen en van wetten, die door het Congres of door afzonderlijke staten ingevoerd zijn.Anders dan bijvoorbeeld de Nederlandse Hoge Raad behandelen de negen rechters het Amerikaanse federale hooggerechtshof lang niet alle zaken die het worden voorgelegd. Rechtzoekenden kunnen een petition for a writ of certiorari indienen bij dit hof. In veel gevallen volgt een eenregelige beslissing dat dit verzoek is afgewezen. Dat betekent dat de rechters de zaak niet van voldoende belang vinden in het kader van hun rechtsvormende taak en niet dat de aanvrager geen gelijk heeft.

One Judiciary Square is a highrise office building at 441 Fourth Street NW in the Judiciary Square neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Designed by architect Vlastimil Koubek, the building is 129.67ft tall and has approximately 10 floors. Its construction ended in 1990.Between 1992 and 1999, One Judiciary Square housed the offices of the mayor and Council of the District of Columbia while repairs were made to the historic John A. Wilson Building. One Judiciary Square now houses the offices of prominent municipal government agencies such as the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics, the Office of the D.C. Attorney General, and the D.C. Office of Zoning. In August 2009, it was one of the first government buildings in Washington to be fitted with a green roof. In addition, the city completed a $7.5 million renovation in September 2011 to improve the building's energy efficiency.The lobby of One Judiciary Square features a statue of Pierre L'Enfant that was commissioned for inclusion in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol. The statue has not been admitted to the collection, however, because the District of Columbia is not a state. A statue of Frederick Douglass was also commissioned; it was accepted by Congress in June 2013 and placed in the United States Capitol Visitors Center, though as part of its joint art collection and not the National Statuary Hall Collection.

The United States Capitol dome is the dome situated above the United States Capitol which reaches upwards to 288ft in height and 96ft in diameter. The dome was designed by Thomas U. Walter, the fourth Architect of the Capitol, and constructed between 1855 and 1866 at a cost of $1,047,291. The dome is not stone, but cast iron carefully painted to appear to be made of the same stone as the main capitol building. It is actually two domes, one inside the other, and the total weight is 14.1e6lb. The iron for the dome was cast by the foundry of Janes, Fowler, Kirtland & Company, owned by Adrian Janes in the Bronx, New York.First domeThe origin of the first dome began with the Capitol design contest sponsored by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, at the behest of President George Washington, in 1792. The winner of the contest, Doctor William Thornton, called for a dome in his original design for the building. Most vividly, Thornton drew upon the Roman Pantheon for inspiration with the Neoclassical dome and associated portico.Thornton's replacement, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, the second Architect of the Capitol, altered Thornton's design plan on the exterior by adding an octagonal drum to visually separate the bottom of the dome from the top of the building's pediment. The third Architect of the Capitol, Charles Bulfinch, altered the exterior profile of the plans still further by increasing the dome's height, which he later wrote was at the insistence of the President and Congress.

The Old Engine Company No. 6 on Massachusetts Ave in Washington, DC is a former District of Columbia Fire Department building which housed Engine 6 and Truck Company 4 between February 17, 1879 and June 27, 1974.

The Peace Monument, also known as the Naval Monument or Civil War Sailors Monument, stands on the grounds of the United States Capitol in Peace Circle at First Street, N.W., and Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. The 44 foot (13.4 m) high white marble memorial was erected from 1877-1878 to commemorate the naval deaths at sea during the American Civil War. Today it stands as part of a three-part sculptural group including the James A. Garfield Monument and the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial.DescriptionAt the top of the monument, facing west, stand two classically robed female figures. Grief holds her covered face against the shoulder of History and weeps in mourning. History holds a stylus and a tablet that was inscribed "They died that their country might live." Below Grief and History, another life-size classical female figure represents Victory, holding high a laurel wreath and carrying an oak branch, signifying strength. Below her are the infant Mars, the god of war, and the infant Neptune, god of the sea. The shaft of the monument is decorated with wreaths, ribbons, and scallop shells.Facing the Capitol is Peace, a classical figure draped from the waist down and holding an olive sprig. Below her are symbols of peace and industry. A dove, now missing and not documented in any known photographs, once nested upon a sheaf of wheat in a grouping of a cornucopia, turned earth, and a sickle resting across a sword. Opposite, the symbols of science, literature, and art (including an angle, a gear, a book, and a pair of dividers) signify the progress of civilization that peace makes possible.

The oldest of the three United States Library of Congress buildings, the Thomas Jefferson Building was built between 1890 and 1897. It was originally known as the Library of Congress Building and is located on First Street SE, between Independence Avenue and East Capitol Street in Washington, D.C. The Beaux-Arts style building is known for its classicizing facade and elaborately decorated interior. Its design and construction has a tortuous history; the building's main architect was Paul J. Pelz, initially in partnership with John L. Smithmeyer, and succeeded by Edward Pearce Casey during the last few years of construction.DesignJohn L. Smithmeyer and Paul J. Pelz won the competition for the architectural plans of the library in 1873. The actual start of the project was delayed by congressional debates until a vote in 1886. In 1888, Smithmeyer was dismissed and Pelz became the lead architect. Pelz was himself dismissed in 1892 and replaced by Edward Pearce Casey, the son of Brig. Gen. Thomas Lincoln Casey, Chief of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who at the time was in charge of the building's construction. While Smithmeyer was instrumental in securing the commission, Pelz appears to have been the main designer of the building and oversaw most of the exterior work. Casey is credited for the completion of the interiors and the artistic supervision of the building's unique decorative program. The Library was opened to the public in 1897 and the finishing work was completed in 1898.

Le Thomas Jefferson Building est le plus ancien des trois bâtiments qui composent la Bibliothèque du Congrès des États-Unis. Il fait partie du complexe du Capitole des États-Unis, et est situé sur la First Street SE, entre Independence Avenue et East Capitol Street, à Washington.HistoireOriginellement la bibliothèque du Congrès était une annexe du Capitole. La demande de construction d'un nouveau bâtiment destiné à servir de bibliothèque nationale fut faite au Congrès par le Libraire Ainsworth Rand Spofford. Le besoin d'agrandissement n'était pas tant dû à la croissance du Congrès, qu'à la loi sur le droit d'auteur de 1870, qui imposait à toute demande de copyright de joindre deux copies de leur ouvrage. La bibliothèque s'est alors vue submergée sous les documents (livres, cartes, musiques, photographies, etc.).La construction fut approuvée en 1886, et réalisée entre 1890 et 1897 sous la direction de John L. Smithmeyer remplacé par son assistant, Paul J. Pelz, auquel succèdera finalement Edward Pearce Casey.Le bâtiment fut ouvert au public le novembre 1897 sous le simple nom de Bibliothèque du Congrès. Il avait été conçu comme un monument national prestigieux auquel plus de 50 artistes américains avaient collaboré. Il fut rebaptisé le 13 juin 1980 en hommage à l'ancien président des États-Unis Thomas Jefferson, qui avait été une figure clef de l'établissement de la librairie en 1800. Jefferson avait offert de vendre sa collection personnelle de livres au Congrès en septembre 1814 pour une somme d'environ, un mois après que les Anglais eurent brûlé le Capitole, et les ouvrages qui s'y trouvaient, durant la guerre anglo-américaine de 1812.

The building of the United States Court of Military Appeals, formerly known as the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, is a historic building located at 450 E St., Northwest, Washington, D.C.. It is regarded as "a particularly fine and remarkably early example of revived (20th century) Greek Revival architecture."HistoryThe building was completed in 1910. It served as the D.C. Court of Appeals until 1952, when the U.S. Court of Military Appeals took it over. It was designed by the Architect of the Capitol, Elliott Woods, to be compatible with the Washington City Hall (1820), designed by George Hadfield and Robert Mills.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.When nominated in 1973, it was serving the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

The Ulysses S. Grant Memorial is a presidential memorial in Washington, D.C., honoring American Civil War general and U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. It sits at the base of Capitol Hill (Union Square, the Mall, 1st Street, between Pennsylvania Avenue and Maryland Avenue), below the west front of the United States Capitol. Its sculpture of Grant on horseback faces west, over the Capitol Reflecting Pool and toward the Lincoln Memorial, which honors Grant's wartime president, Abraham Lincoln. Grant's statue rests on a pedestal decorated with bronze reliefs of the infantry; flanking pedestals hold statues of protective lions and bronze representations of the Union cavalry and artillery. The Grant and Lincoln memorials define the eastern and western ends, respectively, of the National Mall.The Grant Memorial is a contributor to the Civil War Monuments in Washington, D.C., of the National Register of Historic Places. James M. Goode's authoritative The Grant Memorial in Washington, D.C. (1974) calls it "one of the most important sculptures in Washington." It includes the second-largest equestrian statue in the United States and the fourth-largest in the world.

The John Adams Building is one of three library buildings of the Library of Congress in the United States. The building was originally built simply as an annex to the Library's Main Building (the Thomas Jefferson Building). It opened its doors to the public on January 3, 1939. It is located on Second Street SE between Independence Avenue and East Capitol Street in Washington, DC.HistoryThe idea to construct a new library building was presented to the United States Congress in 1928 at the urging of Librarian of Congress Herbert Putnam. The bill was sponsored by U.S. Representative Robert Luce, chairman of the House Committee on the Library. On June 13, 1930, $6.5 million was appropriated for the building's construction, for a tunnel connecting it to the Main Building, and for changes in the east front of the Main Building, including the construction of a Rare Book Room. An additional appropriation approved on June 6, 1935, brought the total authorization to $8,226,457.Architect of the Capitol David Lynn took charge of the project and commissioned the Washington, D.C. architectural firm of Pierson & Wilson to design the building, with Alexander Buel Trowbridge as consulting architect. The contract stipulated completion by June 24, 1938, but the building was not ready for occupancy until December 2, 1938. The move of the Card Division started on December 12, and it opened its doors to the public in the new building on January 3, 1939.

The E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse is a historic building in Washington, D.C. It was built in 1949–50 and currently houses the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.SignificanceThe courthouse is one of the last buildings constructed in the Judiciary Square and Municipal Center complex, an important civic enclave since the 1820s. It constitutes an almost entirely unaltered example of early 1950s Stripped Classicism, a non-representational abstraction of the classical style that permeated institutional (especially government) architecture after the Second World War. President Harry S. Truman laid the cornerstone on June 27, 1950, and the building opened in November 1952. It was listed by the National Register of Historic Places. and is a contributing property to the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site. It was renamed in 1997 in honor of E. Barrett Prettyman, the former Chief Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.Architectural descriptionThe courthouse was built on Reservation 10, a site bounded by Constitution Avenue, Third Street, C Street and John Marshall Place. The building faces south across Constitution Avenue towards the Mall, and was erected on the northwest quadrant of its site. This placement accommodated driveways along the south and west facades, and along with the subsequent plazas and landscaping, provided a buffer between the colonnades of the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse and the verdant Mall, onto which it opened before I.M Pei's 1970 addition to the National Gallery.
