History

This was started in 1793 actually on September 18, a Wednesday. Middle of the week. Great time to start, right? The name of the building was going to be called Congress House, yea right. Thomas Jefferson insisted that it be called the Capitol.

The Capital holds the legislative branch of the government.  The Senate is located on the north wing and the house is on the south end.

It was used as religious services as well in the beginning.

In 1812, there was a war,  and the British came in and on Wednesday, Aug 24, 1814, and burned some of the Capital. Thanks, British for doing that.

It was expanded a few times.

Then in 1996, there was a war that broke out and the Aliens destroyed the capital. 

This was in a movie people. Relax

My Thoughts

Now, this is about as close as I could get to the capital building. There was still a fence up around the capital. Don’t get me started.  It was a cool building to see. I only wish I could have and taken a tour.
