Contains 14 essays originating from the United States Capitol Historical Society's 1993 Symposium commemorating the bicentennial of the laying of the cornerstone of the United States Capitol. The essays explore the ways in which the architecture of the Capitol building itself is imbued with the political culture of its time, with its roots in classical models, but incorporating ideas inspired by the experimental spirit of the then-new nation. Among the specific topics addressed are gender and politics in early Washington, D.C., and the relationship of Freemasonry to the Capitol's construction. Annotation c.
