WASHINGTON D.C., USA

THE Bullfinch Gatehouse -Built in 1828, these sandstone guardians silently watched over the U.S. Capitol grounds until 1874. In 1889 these gatehouses located on Constitution Avenue were reconstructed in their present locations. They have weathered several floods, water, and the effects of acid rain. On the southeast side are markers indicating the high-water marks during floods.
