The 2011 U.S. Capitol Commemorative Ornament
The White House Ornament Collection presents the 2011 U.S. Capitol Commemorative Ornament.
The U.S Capitol Building, which started construction in 1793 but was not completed until 1800, houses the United States congress which includes the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. It sits upon Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall. Both the east and west sides of the Capitol are referred to as "fronts."
Historically, however, only the east front of the building was intended for the arrival of visitors and VIP's. Inside the Capitol is an incredible collection of priceless artwork depicting historical moments in the formation of the United States. Inside the Capitol Dome, The Apotheosis of Washington painted on a shell suspended from the supporting ribs, which also support the visible exterior structure and the tholos that supports the Statue of Freedom, a colossal statue that was added to the top of the dome in 1863. The weight of the cast iron for the dome has been published as 8,909,200 pounds.
