Thanks for everything you do! I appreciate your service to our country ❤️👍🙏🇺🇲
As usual, great job again Architect of The Capitol! I can never get tired of looking at this beautiful building both inside and out! To me, it is the most beautiful building in the entire Nation!
Thank you.
Amazing and beautiful 😍
I’m pretty sure the Native Americans in the area we’re doing everything that they could to preserve the land and its natural beauty. Great work nonetheless
When they have to cut down a tree, does the wood go into making something important? I'd like to believe that it does.

In one of the videos, they mentioned some of it is crafted for stuff that is sold at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center.
I'd be interested to learn about what damage was done to the capital during riots and what work was done to restore windows and such.
