Description
The United States Capitol, atop Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., is the seat of the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government, completed in the year 1800. Though not at the geographic center of the Federal District, the Capitol is the origin point at which the District's four quadrants meet, and around which the city was laid out. The Capitol building was started in 1793, and since that date there have been dramatic changes over the decades. The Building has been burnt, rebuilt, and extended, and then restored.
