Cornerstones of Freedom
Written by Marilyn Prolman
In 1792, President George Washington and Pierre L'Enfant, the man who planned the District of Colubia, decided to hold a contest. It would help them choose the architect who would design the new country's Capitol. At the last minutem they picked William Thornton. His design called for a classical building with two wings joined by a dome in the center. This is the story of the Capitol and how it has served for more than two centuries as the center of government for the United States.
