In Temple of Liberty, Pamela Scott presents an in-depth exploration of the United States Capitol, begun in 1793 but not completed until 1916, with the placement of sculpture in the House wing's pediment. This beautifully illustrated book is a companion to the "Temple of Liberty" exhibition held at the Madison Gallery of the Library of Congress - an exhibition of original prints, drawings, and documents that depict a young nation building its first and most significant architectural symbol.
Together, the book and exhibition offer a new understanding of the role of this important building in the history of American architecture and the evolution of our government.
