Who designed the US Supreme Court Building and when was it built?
Chief Justice William Howard Taft (U.S. President 1909-1913) convinced Congress to allocate funds for the U.S. Supreme Court's permanent home in 1929. Construction began in March 1931 and concluded in April 1935. The new building opened in October 1935, the Court's 146th year of existence.
Architect Cass Gilbert, a friend of Taft's, was charged with designing "a building of dignity and importance suitable for its use as the permanent home of the Supreme Court." Gilbert chose to construct the 304' x 385', four-story marble building in the Roman Neoclassical style to complement nearby Congressional buildings.
Unfortunately, both Taft and Gilbert died before construction was complete. The project was continued under the supervision of Chief Justice Hughes and architects Cass Gilbert, Jr., and John R. Rockart.
Construction, sculpture and furnishings cost less than the $9,740,000 Congress had allotted, so $94,000 was returned to the Treasury when the new building opened in 1935.

Did William Taft play Baseball?
When I was a boy I found a book on the history of baseball in my grandfather's house. It was interesting because it was written in the late 1940's. Baseball was a younger sport then. This book included stories of great 19th century baseball teams I'd never heard of. One of them was the Cincinnati Red Legs, who were a dominant team some time after the civil war. I want to say the 1870's. A piece of trivia in the story concerned William Howard Taft. As a young man Taft was good enough as a baseball player to be asked to play for this outstanding team. Taft turned down the opportunity because his father was opposed to it. Professional baseball wasn't as respectable as it is today.
The Boston Americans (now Red Sox) and the Pittsburgh Pirates played in the first World Series in 1903. The Americans won 5 games to 3. This was a surprise as the Pirates were a powerful team. Few bettors would have expected Boston to win. The great pitcher Cy Young was in this Series as a Boston pitcher.
