What is a building next to the Washington monument?

Answer 1

Ah, what a lovely thought! The building next to the Washington Monument is the beautiful and historic National Museum of African American History and Culture. It stands tall and proud, sharing the rich and diverse stories of African Americans throughout history. Just imagine the wonderful views you could see from its windows, capturing both the monument and the museum in one peaceful scene.

Answer 2

No major buildings are on the same "block" as the U.S. Capitol Building.

• Across the street east of (or behind) the Capitol is the U.S. Supreme Court and the Library of Congress.
• South of the Capitol, across the street, are office buildings for the House of Representatives.
• North of the Capitol are office buildings for the Senate, as well as the Lower Senate Park. A few blocks from that park is Union Station.
• In front of the Capitol, to the west, is the Capitol Mall, which is a long grass field stretching all the way to the Potomac River. Closest to the Capitol is the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial. Surrounding the Capitol Mall are Smithsonian buildings, as well as other government offices and memorials. The centerpiece of the Capitol Mall is the Washington Monument, which is also lined up with the White House.
