  • National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options
    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Updated December 3, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42812 National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Summary The National Statuary Hall Collection, located in the U.S. Capitol, comprises 100 statues provided by individual states to honor persons notable for their historic renown or for distinguished services. The collection was authorized in 1864, at the same time that Congress redesignated the hall where the House of Representatives formerly met as National Statuary Hall. The first statue, depicting Nathanael Greene, was provided in 1870 by Rhode Island. The collection has consisted of 100 statues—two statues per state—since 2005, when New Mexico sent a statue of Po’pay. At various times, aesthetic and structural concerns necessitated the relocation of some statues throughout the Capitol. Today, some of the 100 individual statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection are located in the House and Senate wings of the Capitol, the Rotunda, the Crypt, and the Capitol Visitor Center. Legislation to increase the size of the National Statuary Hall Collection was introduced in several Congresses. These measures would permit states to furnish more than two statues or allow the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to provide statues to the collection. None of these proposals were enacted. Should Congress choose to expand the number of statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Joint Committee on the Library and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) may need to address statue location to address aesthetic, structural, and safety concerns in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, and other areas of the Capitol.

  • Capitol Buildings and Grounds
    CAPITOL BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS UNITED STATES CAPITOL OVERVIEW OF THE BUILDING AND ITS FUNCTION The United States Capitol is among the most architecturally impressive and symbolically important buildings in the world. It has housed the meeting chambers of the Senate and the House of Representatives for almost two centuries. Begun in 1793, the Capitol has been built, burnt, rebuilt, extended, and restored; today, it stands as a monument not only to its builders but also to the American people and their government. As the focal point of the government's Legislative Branch, the Capitol is the centerpiece of the Capitol Complex, which includes the six principal Congressional office buildings and three Library of Congress buildings constructed on Capitol Hill in the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition to its active use by Congress, the Capitol is a museum of American art and history. Each year, it is visited by an estimated seven to ten million people from around the world. A fine example of 19th-century neoclassical architecture, the Capitol combines function with aesthetics. Its designs derived from ancient Greece and Rome evoke the ideals that guided the Nation's founders as they framed their new republic. As the building was expanded from its original design, harmony with the existing portions was carefully maintained. Today, the Capitol covers a ground area of 175,170 square feet, or about 4 acres, and has a floor area of approximately 161¤2 acres. Its length, from north to south, is 751 feet 4 inches; its greatest width, including approaches, is 350 feet. Its height above the base line on the east front to the top of the Statue of Freedom is 287 feet 51¤2 inches; from the basement floor to the top of the dome is an ascent of 365 steps.

For a town with a reputation for ancestor worship, Boston has surprisingly few memorials to its Puritan Founders. There is a statue of John Winthrop in the Back Bay and a statue of John Endicott in the Fenway. However, noted Puritan antagonists Anne Hutchinson and Mary Dyer both enjoy large memorials in prime locations on the grounds of the Massachusetts State House – impressive for women exiled and executed, respectively, by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Hutchinson’s ally, Henry Vane, Jr., has a statue just inside the Boston Public Library.

  • 1 Rebecca Racine September 20, 2010 E Pluribus Unum: The
    Rebecca Racine September 20, 2010 E Pluribus Unum: The People’s Capitol Building Almost everyone who visits the United States Capitol building today, first watches a short, thirteen minute film about the roots of America, the establishment of Congress, and the construction of the U.S. Capitol Building. The movie is titled E Pluribus Unum, meaning in Latin, “out of many one.” Emblazoned on the seal of the United States, E Pluribus Unum, is the foundation American government sits upon. It is a reminder that although Congressmen and Senators regularly inhabit the Capitol Building, it actually belongs to the people, the citizens of the United States of America. The Capitol tour seeks to reconnect the citizens to their building. According to the United States Census Bureau, the state of Illinois is home to approximately 12,910,409 people.1 It has nineteen congressional districts and two Senators.2 I was fortunate enough to intern for the current Senate Assistant Majority Leader, Senator Richard Durbin, who among other things, places an emphasis on the importance of his constituents. One of my primary duties as summer intern was to give tours of the Capitol Building to constituents. Any constituent can access the tour request form on the Senator’s website and request tours of the Capitol building, White House, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the Library of Congress. While Senator Durbin’s office cannot always guarantee tours of the other sites, it is made a priority to give any constituent interested, a tour of the Capitol Building. 1 “Illinois QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau."

Jefferson Davis, as chairman of the Committee office and John B. Floyd was made Secretary of War, the conflict on Public Buildings, first adopted the plans which were prepared by between the two in authority on the building became more bitter.32 In Robert Mills, using such features as the committee thought desirable in January, 1858, the controversy reached such a stage that the question the drawings secured by the competition of September, 1850 [Plates as to who should have charge of the drawings was submitted to the Sec- 141 to 148].31 President Fillmore fortunately took advantage of the retary of War.

  • Stalin Is Like a Fairytale Sycamore Tree — Stalin As a Symbol
    3 Stalin is like a fairytale sycamore tree — Stalin as a symbol Gratitude’s a dog’s disease. Iosif Stalin1 There was a fight in a line at the factory; people were hurt and a couple of policemen showed up. People just can’t seem to appreciate how happy their lives are. Andrei Stepanovich Arzhilovsky (ex-prisoner, executed by firing squad, 5 September 1937) 2 Depending on your point of view, Stalin may or not be like a fairytale sycamore tree, but this metaphor, from a panegyric by Kazakh poet Dzhambul, serves to illuminate a central tenet of this book: that ‘Stalin’, as he appeared in Soviet posters, was a construct. Indeed, we are all ‘constructs’ in terms of our perceived and performed identities in society. Stalin, however, is a construct produced by a large group of people for mass consumption with specific goals in mind. Stalin existed as a symbol for such concrete entities as the Bolshevik Party and the state, but also for more abstract concepts like communist progress, Bolshevik values and vision, and peace. The Party’s propaganda apparatus tightly controlled the use of his image and 1 Quoted in Simon Sebag Montefiore,Stalin: the court of the Red Tsar, London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2003, p. 43. 2 ‘Diary of Andrei Stepanovich Arzhilovsky’, in Véronique Garros, Natalia Korenevskaya & Thomas Lahusen (eds), Intimacy and terror: Soviet diaries of the 1930s, New York, New Press, 1995, p. 150. 191 THE PERSONALITY CUlt OF StaliN IN SOVIET POSTERS, 1929–1953 his persona drew on emblems of leadership and sacred imagery from both the Russian and the European past, from newly forged Bolshevik symbols, and on universal archetypes.
