The oldest of the four United States Library of Congress buildings, the Thomas Jefferson Building was built between 1890 and 1897. It was originally known as the Library of Congress Building and is located on First Street SE, between Independence Avenue and East Capitol Street in Washington, D.C. The Beaux-Arts style building is known for its classicizing facade and elaborately decorated interior. Its design and construction has a tortuous history; the building's main architect was Paul J. Pelz, initially in partnership with John L. Smithmeyer, and succeeded by Edward Pearce Casey during the last few years of construction. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965.
Halloween or congress?
.
I keep hearing that republicans are conservative… this is certainly not born out by their behavior, or rhetoric.
.
Tax cuts for billionaires ?
Religion in schools?
Attacking Medicare and social security?

( with respect to the artist who created this diorama last Halloween. I do not know their politicks and these opinions and my comments are my own and not necessarily those of this artist)

One of Chicago’s most legendary hotels, located near Grant Park on Michigan Ave., with views of Lake Michigan. A Windy City icon since 1893.
it has played host to U.S. presidents, international celebrities and performers, foreign dignitaries and elite travelers from around the world.
Amazing experience just to walk through!
Went out hoping for a shot of the Capitol during Blue hour. As fate would have it, the Capitol was still under renovation making the shot I'd envisioned impossible. The Library of Congress, however, didn't disappoint.

The new structure's curves create a series of compact alleys and squares that reflect the spatial feel and proportions of the surrounding city.
The Einstein Congress consists of two components, whose modern interpretation of the vertical façade structure echoes the architectural structures of inner-city buildings from the turn of the last century. The aim of this design was to develop a completely new building by further developing local design approaches, which only becomes apparent at second glance.
The congress section, with its open foyer areas, some of which are two-storey high, faces the hotel forecourt and monastery district and has a tower-like staircase connecting the congress and seminar areas. The rounded tower shape reflects similar corner designs in St. Gallen city centre and refers specifically to the historic “Green Tower”, which stood on this site from the 17th to the 19th century as a defensive structure for the city.
The building of the Parliament, built - as everything else here - by Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa. Here, the Parliament members sit down to discuss how to raise their own salaries, while corruption is rife in every corridor, every room.
The original Congress Hall Hotel in Cape May, New Jersey was built in 1816. It burned down in 1878 and the present hotel opened in 1879.

The Library of Congress is the nation’s oldest federal cultural institution and serves as the research arm of Congress. It is also the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, maps and manuscripts in its collections. The Library’s mission is to support the Congress in fulfilling its constitutional duties and to further the progress of knowledge and creativity for the benefit of the American people. A noble mission to accompany an equally grandiose establishment.
