U.S. Capitol Building
3 Things to Look For: (1) Looking upward: The prestigious cast-iron Capitol Dome, completed in 1866 and crowned with the bronze Statue of Freedom; (2) straight ahead: the Senate chamber on the north wing of the building and the House of Representatives chamber on the south; (3) directly behind: the Washington Monument on the National Mall.
