Doric Columns
Doric columns typically have a simple, rounded capital at the top; a heavy, fluted or smooth column shaft; and no base. Flutes are vertical, parallel channels that run the length of a column. Columns in this style can be found throughout Capitol Hill, including the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court Building, the Russell Senate Office Building and the Cannon House Office Building.
The Crypt in the U.S. Capitol Building contains forty smooth Doric columns of sandstone, which support the arches holding up the floor of the Rotunda. Also in the Capitol, Doric columns can be found in the Old Supreme Court Chamber, designed by Benjamin Latrobe. These columns are modeled on the Temple of Poseidon, which were the shortest and the strongest columns that survive from classical Greece.
The Supreme Court Building’s main corridor is known as the Great Hall, a grand rectangular vestibule that is thirty feet high and lined on both sides with double rows of fluted Doric columns. The columns rise to a coffered ceiling.
The Cannon House Office Building and Russell Senate Office Building, which are nearly identical, contain thirty-four fluted Doric columns each along their colonnades, facing the United States Capitol. Pilasters continue the Doric order along secondary elevations.

Today’s visitors to the Old Senate Chamber will find reproductions of senator’s desks arranged in four semi-circular rows. The original mahogany desks are now located in the present Senate chamber and were made by New York cabinetmaker Thomas Constantine, who in 1819 supplied “48 desks for Members, each $34.” Constantine also provided forty-eight matching chairs; this design is still used today for chairs made for the present Senate chamber.
