Washington Capitol building circa 1820's


From an original engraving Ridpath's History of the United States Pub circa 1894. The plate title says "The capitol at Washington showing the new west front." Believe this probably refers to the work undertaken by Boston Architect Charles Bulfinch begun in 1818
