Constructing the Capitol: Latrobe's Rendering
Benjamin Latrobe's rendering of a completed Capitol.
Before leaving Washington in 1817, Latrobe restored the wings of the Capitol damaged during the War of 1812, and produced drawings for the central rotunda section, which were partially followed by his successor Charles Bulfinch.
