What are the 3 most important buildings in Washington D.C.?
The three buildings sitting on Capitol Hill are the Capitol, where the House of Representatives and the Senate meet. Originally constructed starting in 1793, as President George Washington laid down the cornerstone. The Supreme Court building is also sited there. The Supreme Court originally held sessions in the basement of the Capitol until 1860 when it moved into the old Senate Chamber. It wasn't until 1934 the Supreme Court received it's own building. The third building is the Library of Congress. In 1800, the library was located in a single room of the Capitol. In 1814, the British burned down the original Capitol using the books from the Library of Congress as kindling. Luckily, Thomas Jefferson sold his collection of books to the Library. In 1897, the Library of Congress moved into the Jefferson Building. In 1939, the Adams Building, the first of two annex buildings, was built to house the administrative office and various storage facilities. The Madison Building was built in 1980 to house the library's collection of photographs, maps, films, and architectural drawings.The main Library of Congress was constructed at the site of a historic row of houses called Carroll Row. Built by Daniel Carroll in the early 1800s. The houses were used for multiple purposes. The houses were all torn down in 1887 to make way for the Library of Congress. On Christmas Eve 1951, most of the original collection of books were destroyed by fire. Thomas Jefferson recorded the books he sold into a log that didn't burn.
