Set on First Street NE, across from the Capitol's east front, this view shows the Supreme Court building, which the Court did not occupy until 1935. Before then, the justices had met in committee rooms and chambers inside the Capitol for more than a century. Architect Cass Gilbert designed the marble building in a classical style, with a colonnade of Corinthian columns and the inscription "Equal Justice Under Law" above its west entrance. The print is a Harris and Ewing photograph, from a Washington studio known for its many images of federal buildings.
