Labeled as a detail of progress, this view points to the building work that reshaped the U.S. Capitol in the mid-19th century, when the wings were extended and a cast-iron dome rose over the center. Construction continued through the Civil War years, with crews working while Washington was crowded with troops and the country was divided. Photographs from this period matter because they capture scaffolding, iron framing and tools that were later hidden behind finished stone and paint. Look closely at the structure to see how much of the national landmark was still taking shape.
