The Renovated Landmark, 2007:
Resplendent with its new canopy, the venerable structure continues to dominate its changing neighborhood. The building's enclosed courtyard at 28,000 square feet is now one of the largest unobstructed historic interior spaces in the nation's capital. The renovated landmark proudly fulfills the mission established for it in 1836 when Congress authorized its construction as "a place to celebrate the present the achievement of the American people." |
