Capitol Building


This is a little different view of the Capital Building. This is a majestic building to me. The tour of the Capitol Building essentially was of the center section called the Rotunda. Everyplace in the Capitol are designated as either S(for Senate) or H(for House), depending on whether they are North(Senate) or South(House) of the Rotunda. Within the Rotunda there is an area known as the Crypt. This was designated to look down on the final resting place of George Washington in a tomb below. Martha had different plans, however as his final resting place was Mount Vernon. The Crypt actually houses exhibits on the history of the Capitol.

  1. Martha didn't realize that George belonged to all of us that still care for the original dream that our forefathers thought up back in the 1700's. My musings only here......
