Washington DC: United States Capitol, west front, 1826-1829 Charles Bulfinch
The west front facing the National Mall was designed by Charles Bulfinch, who had previously completed the Massachusetts State House in Boston. It follows a similar style. Bulfinch was the third architect to be appointed to make changes to the Capitol.
The terraces we see were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted between 1874 and 1892 as well as the Capitol grounds landscaping.
