troduced ear senator OOn"S
lier in the year, by the junior
Senator from Texas, Mr.. Con-
nally. After extensive hearings
before a subcommittee, of which
the senior Senator from Massa-
chusetts was the able and dill
gent chairman, this bill was
unanimously reported to the
Senate from it's Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds.
Probably few of the millions
of Americans who have visited
the Federal City are aware that
the Capitol is an unfinished
structure. How this came about
is explained in the interesting
and informing report to the Sen
ate on the Connally bill.
HISTORY OF BUILDING
The United States Capitol,
as it now stands, is the result
of additions over many years,
carried out under the direction
of succeeding Architects OF the
Capitol. DR.. William Thorn
ton, a distinguished physician
of Tortola, West Indies, sub
mitted the winning plan for a
Capitol building. His plan was
accepted on April S, 1893.
On September 18 of the same
year President Washington laid
the cornerstone, with Masonic
ceremonies, of the north Sec
ton of the building, now desig-
mated as the Supreme Court
section of the Capitol. This
wing was completed in time to
be occupied by the legislative
and judicial branches of the
Government when the Govern
ment was removed from Phlla-
delphia to the Federal City in
1900.
Three architects we're en-
ployed in the erection of the
first unit of the building &C
cording to the accepted plans
of DR.. Stephen H.
Hallett, George Hadfield and
James Hoban, the architect OF
the White House.
B. H. Latrobe was in charge
of the erection of the southern
section of the Capitol, now &C.
cupied by Statuary Hall. When
the British captured Washing
ton in 1914 they set fire to
the Capitol and burned the in
terror. Although Latrobe COM
menced the work of reconstruc-

Completing the Capitol
Blu James T. Williams, T.

ton and repair he resigned
in 1917 and this work was car
ried to completion by Charles
Bulfinch, the famous architect
of Boston.
The building of the present
Senate and House wings was
commenced in 1851, according
to plans submitted by Thomas
U. Walter and the cornerstone
of these extensions was laid
on July 4 of that year, Daniel
Webster delivering the grafton.
The dome of the Capitol, as
then planned and executed un'
der the direction of Mr.. Wal
ter, rests upon an octagonal
base. It overhangs the east
wall approximately is feet and
6 inches, resting upon a void
space, apparently without sup
port.
Mr.. Walters reports and
sketches made at that time
show concluSively that it was
his intention to carry forward
the wall and portico of the
central portion so as to give
the dome an adequate appear
ance of support.
Then came the Civil War.
and the work of completing
the Capitol was interrupted
and ever since it has remained
in it's uncompleted state.
The first section of the Capt.
toll to be completed was Of
Virginia sandstone occurred
from quarries owned by the
Government at Aqua Greek,
below Mount Vernon. The Sen
ate and House wings Of the
Capitol are faced with marble
which came from the quarries
at Lee, Mass, and the columns
of these wings came from
quarries at Cockeysville, Md.
When the British burned the
Capitol in 1914 the central
portion, built of Virginia sand
stone, was discolored. In con-
sequence it has to be painted
white from time to time but
the wings being of marble do
not have to be painted. This
is why there is always a diff.
ference in color between the
wings and the central portion
of this beautiful building.
TO CORRECT DEFECT
With the completion of the
extension, just voted by the
Senate, the one remaining
architectural defect in the
Capitol Building will be cor
rected, the harmony of its
original design will be achieved
and no more withdrawing Of
it's central portion will be
necessary.
President Roosevelt will
doubtless lay the cornerstone
later in the year of the extern
sion which will complete the
Capitol begun by President
Washington, but where will the
Government find a Daniel
Webster to deliver such an ora
ton as that which made
memorable the laying of the
cornerstone of the Senate and
House wings "a years ago
come next Independence Day?
