From 1800-1935 US Supreme Court occupied various quarters in the US Capitol Building, which is home to Congress. In 1929, then-Chief Justice William Howard Taft successfully argued before Congress that the Supreme Court should occupy its own building to formally demonstrate its existence as an independent branch of government. In addition, the Capitol facilities were inadequate because they lacked private chambers (offices) for the justices' use, forcing them to work in their own homes when writing opinions.

The Supreme Court Building? The federal Judicial Branch includes all the US District Courts, the US Court of International Trade, the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, and the US Supreme Court. Each court is in a different building, so there is no single structure that holds the entire Judicial Branch. The Supreme Court of the United States (aka US Supreme Court) is head of the Judicial Branch, and it housed in the Supreme Court Building in Washington, DC.
