Capitol building photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Pierre Charles L'Enfant was expected to design the Capitol, but his dismissal in 1792 due to his refusal
to cooperate with the Commissioners of the Federal
Buildings, resulted in other plans. Like many other buildings in Washington, DC and in capitals around the world the U.S. Capitol is based on ancient Greek and Roman designs, as much of our
culture, law, and language is.
